'Questions will be asked': Ex-India star's message for Gambhir
Former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta said head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill will face pressure in the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka starting August 15 in Galle.
India have lost Test series against New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa under Gambhir, and Dasgupta stressed the need to see a clear direction in the transition period.
Dasgupta said questions will be asked of Gambhir and the team if India's struggles continue, noting India lost at home and kept losing.
India's WTC final hopes require winning seven of their remaining nine Tests, with India currently fifth in the WTC standings with 48.15% points.
