Former Team India opener Aakash Chopra shared advice for head coach Gautam Gambhir ahead of the five-match T20I series against South Africa at home. Chopra said that Gambhir should handle press conferences with a bit more calm, adding that his statements after losses can create unnecessary controversies.
India, led by KL Rahul, completed the ODI series against South Africa with a comfortable nine-wicket win in Visakhapatnam. The Men in Blue chased down the 271-run target with more than 10 overs to spare. Following the victory, Gambhir used the press conference to criticize journalists and a franchise owner.
Gautam Gambhir's comments were directed at Delhi Capitals DC co-owner Parth Jindal, who recently suggested that India needed a separate red-ball coach after the team's 2-0 defeat in the Test series against South Africa.
