Kolkata Knight Riders: Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir lashed out at commentators, who were not happy with his appointment to the role, and called them out for treating Indian cricket as their private property.

It was the first time Gambhir was speaking on a public platform since succeeding Rahul Dravid in July last year. The former opener's appointment came just after his title-winning campaign with Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024 where he led the franchise to their third silverware after a decade-long drought.

Under Gambhir's stint, India faced a historic 3-0 whitewash in the home Test series against New Zealand followed by a 3-1 series defeat against Australia as the Rohit Sharma-led side failed to claim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in 10 years. India also missed out on the World Test Championship final spot for the first time since its inception.
