Former India pacer S Sreesanth criticises head coach Gautam Gambhir and calls for a change in the team’s coaching setup, arguing that the current approach places “too much pressure” on players. Sreesanth says Gambhir’s methods are overly rigid and points to recent India Test series defeats as evidence that the strategy is not delivering consistently, despite India’s comparatively better results in limited-overs cricket during Gambhir’s tenure. The former bowler advocates a mentor-style figure rather than a traditional head coach role, comparing the kind of support he wants to what he attributes to MS Dhoni. In his comments, Sreesanth contrasts Gambhir’s style with Dhoni’s more supportive, “brotherly” leadership approach and argues that coaches’ influence during matches may be limited. Overall, he urges Indian cricket management to reconsider how the coaching and mentoring structure is organised for players.
