Before the Champions Trophy, there is another rebellion against the coach in Team India? Will Gambhir also resign? This happened 8 years ago as well

Only 4 weeks are left for the Champions Trophy to begin. The tournament will begin on 19 February. The Indian team will play its first match on 20 February. But before this important tournament, there is turmoil in Team India. There is a conflict between Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir on many things. Not only this, his strict attitude can create a situation of rebellion against him in the team. In such a situation, speculations have started whether Gambhir will resign from his post? This has happened with the coach of the Indian team 8 years ago during the Champions Trophy.
Gambhir may be forced to resign
For Gautam Gambhir, the bigger challenge than the team's poor performance could be the rebellion of the team. According to media reports, many players do not like his way of working. Especially the senior players are upset with this. There were also reports of a rift between him and the Indian captain during the Australia tour. Not only this, he was strict with all the players and now he has come up with about 10 types of rules after asking the BCCI.
In such a situation, his strictness and defeat in the Champions Trophy can prove fatal for him. He can be forced to resign. We are not saying this without reason. This has happened 8 years ago as well. In 2017, Anil Kumble had to resign after the Champions Trophy due to his strict attitude. He had to bow down before Virat Kohli.
Kohli had revolted
Indian team's legendary spinner Anil Kumble took over as the head coach in June 2016. His appointment was approved by veterans like Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman who were members of the Cricket Advisory Committee. But things did not work out between Kumble and the then Indian captain Virat Kohli. There was a lot of conflict between the two. It was revealed in the media that Kumble was very strict about everything related to the team. He used to lay a lot of emphasis on discipline.
Many young players felt uncomfortable under his coaching and were unable to speak openly. This issue became heated during the 2017 Champions Trophy and Kohli complained about it to the BCCI. He believed that Kumble was being too strict. Anil Kumble resigned after the defeat to Pakistan in the final of the tournament. After this, it was revealed in media reports that he was forced to do so. The same thing can happen with Gambhir as well.
Big defeat due to Gambhir's presence
Gautam Gambhir joined the Indian team in August last year i.e. 2024. Since then, there has been a continuous decline in the performance of the team. Under his leadership, Team India faced defeat in the ODI series in Sri Lanka after 27 years. At the same time, for the first time in the Test series against New Zealand at home, they were whitewashed. After this, on the Australia tour also, the Border Gavaskar Trophy was lost by 1-3. Also, the team was out of the race for the World Test Championship. In such a situation, there is a lot of pressure on them. At the same time, if the Indian team loses in the Champions Trophy, then the difficulties will increase even more for them.
