Gambhir Defends Batting Changes, Offers No Sympathy for Kuldeep Yadav's ODI Performance
India's head coach Gautam Gambhir defended the team's batting order changes during the 4th ODI against New Zealand, aiming to provide players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan with opportunities in different positions ahead of the ODI World Cup. Despite the reshuffle, India suffered a heavy 244-run defeat, with Gaikwad scoring five and Kishan 27. Meanwhile, Gambhir showed no sympathy for Kuldeep Yadav after the spinner conceded 73 runs without taking a wicket, contrasting with others who acknowledged the pressure on Kuldeep due to limited game time.
