Former Indian opener Sadgopapan Ramesh has accused Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir of abandoning Shreyas Iyer, as he likes individual favorite players in the team. He also maligned India’s Anderson-Tendulkar trophy draw, claiming that foreign supremacy started in the Virat Kohli-Ravi Shastri Yuga.
After the backlash, which was initially focused on the BCCI chief selector Ajit Aggarkar, it moved to the Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir on the unfair snub of Shreyas Iyer’s non-selection for the Asia Cup. Former Indian openers have come to carry forward the Indian coach.
Despite being an unprecedented run in the IPL with Punjab Kings, Shreyas Iyer was snatched away, where he was the best of his season with 604 runs in 174 matches at 174 strikes, which was already supported by the 300+ run Saeed Mashtak Ali Trophy season, who was attacking in 188.

“He supports the players he likes, but completely lets go to those who do not,” Indian opener has a large claim on Gautam Gambhir.
Former Indian opener Ramesh has accused Gautam Gambhir of personal bias in the selection process for the Indian side. He urged that Gambhir includes only players whom he likes in the squad, except the rest, and it is not much criteria for good form selection.
Ramesh said, “He supports the players whom he likes, but completely lets go to the people he does not.”
The T20I side, led by Gautam Gambhir, has not given any Indian players to return to any Indian players like Yashsvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gikwad and even Mohammad Siraj.
While Jaiswal was a favorite third opener in the squad for the T20 World Cup, Iyer scored 1000+ runs in international T20I cricket, and Ruturaj Gikawad has T20i hundred for India.
India’s 2–2 draw against England was due to the ‘false story’.
Speaking through his YouTube channel, Ramesh claimed that the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy has released a ‘false story’ around India’s 2–2 draw against England. While it was seen as a major achievement for the Indian team and the new captain, Shubman Gill.
The former cricketer claimed that it was only due to India’s continuous failure under the reign of Gautam Gambhir in the red ball cricket that the moment was marked with so much glory, while in fact, the test domination under foreign circumstances had begun since the Kohli-Shastri era for India.
“Constant Jeet started under Kohli and Shastri for a long time. But now, only the series drawn in England is being introduced as a major achievement in the track records of Gambhir.”
Jaiswal understood ex-factor; Shreyas’s dominance in the United Arab Emirates was recently taken into consideration, convicting Gambhir for the filth.
The next time Ramesh chose the ICC Champions Trophy, which was one of the achievements of Gautam Gambhir as the National Head Coach, which came within just 6 months of his appointment. He reported that it was Shreyas Iyer, who deserves large scale credit for Triumph for India in the series with his 243 runs.
“Gambhir’s biggest achievement remains the victory of the Champions Trophy, and Iyer was the biggest reason for that success. Still, Gambhir is not supporting him. A person like Jaiswal, who is an X-Factor Player, should play all formats. It is a poor step to put him in a standby,” Ramesh said.
He further emphasized, “Shreyas Iyer performed incredible in the same UAE during the Champions Trophy and should have a permanent stability in India’s white ball teams.”
“When they are high on confidence and high in form, the players should be supported, not when they fade.
