'Gambhir has no work': Kris Srikkanth slams India coach over handling of Devdutt Padikkal in Indian team
With Devdutt Padikkal fresh off a century against Sri Lanka, former Indian batter Kris Srikkanth slams the Indian coaching staff over the RCB star's handling.
Former India captain Kris Srikkanth has criticised Gautam Gambhir for suggesting the possibility of replacing Devdutt Padikkal in the Indian Test team. Padikkal scored 167 runs in the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle, helping India secure a 165-run victory. Srikkanth believes that Gambhir has no work in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka, given Padikkal's impressive performance.
The former India captain expects Kuldeep Yadav to be dropped for the second Test, with off-spinner Saransh Jain replacing him. Srikkanth also criticized the coach's communication style, noting that open-ended questions about player selections only invite speculation.
