Highlights
- Gautam Gambhir’s befitting reply after allegations against himself
- Former Indian captains were told without name
- Rohit Sharma also openly responded to his own relations
New Delhi: Those who have glass of their own houses, they do not throw stones to others… !! Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has attacked some former Indian Test players saying this. Gambhir did not name anyone, but it could be clearly understood from his words that there were two former Indian captains of Mumbai on his target, who has been criticizing Gautam’s cricketing days. Gambhir has accused these two former veterans of considering Indian cricket as their ‘private manor’.
In a special conversation with ABP News, Gautam Gambhir said, ‘I have been engaged in this work for eight months. If the results do not come, then I have no problem with criticism. It is people’s job to criticize. There are people who have been sitting in the commentary box for 25 years and they feel that Indian cricket is their personal property. Unfortunately Indian cricket is not a personal property of anyone. This belongs to 140 crore Indians. These people have questioned my coaching, my records, Kanakashan (when he returned from the tour of England in 2011 due to head injury) to the prize money of the Champions Trophy. I do not need to tell anyone where I have spent money and where I have invested. But this country should know that such players are NRIs who earn in India and take money out. I do not come to India at 11:55 pm to spend 180 days… I am an Indian. I will never become an NRI to save tax.
A former head coach of India, who is also a commentator, described Gambhir’s head injury during the team’s 0–4 defeat in 2011 at the hands of England. As far as the award amount of the Champions Trophy is concerned, he was former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, who wrote in his column for ‘Sportstar’, would Gambhir share his prize money with his prior Rahul Dravid -like associate staff?

Gavaskar did not name
Gautam Gambhir did not name Sunil Gavaskar, but the gesture is enough to the sensible. Gambhir, who lives in Delhi, said, “I do not need to tell anyone whether I have given money or not… Those living in glass houses should not throw stones at others.”

He also spoke on relations with Rohit Sharma
Gambhir also dismissed the ongoing speculation about his differences with Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma. He said with outspokenness, ‘Who are these people, who are saying all these things? These speculation are being installed by experts and those running YouTube channels. Two months ago, a coach and a captain together won the Champions Trophy. Imagine what you would have asked if we did not win the Champions Trophy. I praise Rohit Sharma’s contribution to Indian cricket. My relations with Rohit were like before, they will remain the same.
