Michael Atherton Warns Gautam Gambhir Of 'big Problems' If India Lose England Series
Michael Atherton: Former England captain Michael Atherton has issued a strong warning to India head coach Gautam Gambhir, stating that a third straight Test series loss would place the former opener under significant pressure just a year into his role.
India, who are trailing 1-2 in the ongoing five-Test series against England, must win the final match at The Oval to avoid yet another series defeat. The team arrived in England on the back of a 0-3 whitewash at home to New Zealand, followed by a 1-3 loss in the high-profile Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year.
Speaking on Sky Sports ahead of the fifth Test, Atherton did not mince words about the expectations placed on Indian cricket. “Well, they've lost two series in a row. They lost at home to New Zealand 3-0 and they lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1. If they lose this series then yeah, he's under pressure as a coach,” Atherton said, pointing directly to Gambhir’s growing burden.
