「聞かないで…」：ゴータム・ガンビールに対する「偽善」批判のさなか、元KKRペーサーのウメシュ・ヤダフ氏がインド監督を支持

Former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Umesh Yadav has batted for Gautam Gambhir, stating him as a leader who grants freedom, especially to youngsters. This comes amid the criticism Gambhir has been facing. His start as Team India’s head coach hasn’t bode well as of yet, with India losing 6 out of the last 8 Tests. Then came ex-KKR batter Manoj Tiwary’s scathing remarks on Gambhir, criticising him for taking all the credit after KKR won it’s maiden IPL title in 2012.

Umesh Yadav credits Gautam Gambhir

“So, I will always credit Gautam Gambhir’s captaincy. I made my IPL debut (talking about Delhi Daredevils’ stint). I never felt that he had ever put pressure on me. I remember when I made my debut, he gave the ball to me and said, Don’t listen to anyone. Bowl as per your liking. I played from 2014 to 2017 at KKR with him (Gambhir).”
