'Doesn't Have Right Demeanour': Sanjay Manjrekar Openly Slams Gautam Gambhir's Media Interactions

Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024: India will tour to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy later this month. There is a lot of air around the Indian team, especially after their 3-0 series loss to New Zealand. This was India's first-ever home Test series loss in 12 years, their last one coming against England in 2012. Questions are being asked of Gautam Gambhir , the head Coach and of Rohit Sharma , the skipper of the side.Prior to the Indian Team's departure, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir interacted with the media and shed light on the burning issues surrounding the players and their recent performances. Gambhir, who is known for being blunt took the questions heads on and had a straightforward reply to almost all the questions that were thrown at him. But it looks as if Gambhir's press conference has rubbed former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar in the wrong way.Manjrekar Openly Criticizes Gautam GambhirFormer India cricketer and now a very successful broadcaster, Sanjay Manjrekar never shies away from speaking his heart out. Just like Gambhir, Manjrekar too is very well known for expressing things and opinions very bluntly. After Gambhir's explosive press conference on the recently concluded IND vs NZ Test series and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Manjrekar has said that Gambhir doesn't have the right demeanour to tackle the media.Just watched Gambhir in the press conference. May be wise for @BCCI to keep him away from such duties, let him work behind the scenes. He does not have the right demeanour nor the words when interacting with them. Rohit &amp; Agarkar, much better guys to front up for the media.— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) November 11, 2024 ALSO READ | Gautam Gambhir Drops Big Update On Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli 's FutureIndia To Face A Stern Challenge Against Australia View this post on Instagram A post shared by ICC (@icc) ALSO READ | Gautam Gambhir Reveals Names Of Players Who Are Seen As Options To Replace Rohit Sharma in 1st TestRohit Sharma and Co.'s dreams of playing the World Test Championship 2025 Finals have been heavily dented by their recent 3-0 series loss to New Zealand.
