'Gambhir And Team Management Have To Be Accountable': Srikkanth After India's ODI Series Defeat
T20 World Cup: Former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth has called for accountability from head coach Gautam Gambhir and the team management following India's 2-1 ODI series defeat to England, questioning the side's preparation for the 2027 World Cup and criticising the frequent changes to the playing XI.
Speaking after England clinched the series with a 27-run win in the third ODI at Lord's, Srikkanth said India's performances against stronger opposition should be the benchmark rather than victories over lower-ranked teams.
"They’ll win a T20 World Cup in between, they’ll win a Champions Trophy, and then lavish praise on Gambhir. Whereas, Gambhir has to be held accountable. The team management has to be accountable. They’ll beat Zimbabwe, then beat Sri Lanka and the West Indies and then they will start saying that India is back in form. If you consider Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and West Indies games as crucial series, there’s no scope for the team. Unfortunately, they’ll keep doing this,” Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel.
