Krishnamachari Srikkanth Criticizes Gautam Gambhir Over Team Selection Decisions
Former India selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth criticized head coach Gautam Gambhir and the team management for dropping Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from the final two T20Is against New Zealand, despite his strong performance in the third match. Srikkanth argued that inconsistent selection creates insecurity among players like Sooryavanshi and Sanju Samson, who has struggled with form but was retained. He suggested the team should provide more consistent opportunities and rotate opening options more regularly to support player development.
