Ex-PAK Cricketers Slam Shubman Gill, Gautam Gambhir's Tactics After NZ Loss

  • Former Pakistan cricketers Basit Ali and Kamran Akmal criticized Shubman Gill's captaincy and Gautam Gambhir's coaching after India's series loss to New Zealand.
  • Basit Ali likened Gill's captaincy to Shan Masood's, advising him to 'go to school and learn captaincy' for not making his own decisions.
  • Ali specifically questioned Gill's decision to hold back specialist bowlers Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, opting for Nitish Kumar Reddy instead.
  • Kamran Akmal stated Gill's mind 'doesn’t seem to be working in captaincy,' emphasizing the need for specialist bowlers after early wickets.
  • Basit Ali also blamed India's top order failure, stating that late runs from Reddy and Harshit Rana were insufficient without a strong foundation.
