Head Coach Gambhir Calls Conversations With Players Who Don’t Make The XI ‘toughest Job’ Of His Role
In a video interview shared by the BCCI on Monday, Gambhir was asked how he manages conversations with consistent wicket-takers like Arshdeep and Kuldeep when they don’t make the XI. The former cricketer said, “That is the toughest part for me as a coach, and that is the toughest job I have. Sometimes, when I know that there is so much quality sitting on the bench, and I know everyone deserves to be part of the playing XI, but ultimately, you can only pick 11, thinking about what is the best combination to do the job on that particular day.
“But for me, the most important thing is the conversation and the communication as well. The communication needs to be very clear, very honest. Sometimes, obviously, those are conversations to have. If you tell someone that he is not playing, this is probably the toughest conversation for a coach and player as well, because I know that the player would get upset when he deserves to be part of the playing XI.”
