“People who live in glass houses should refrain from hurling stones at other people.” In response to criticism from a few former Test players, India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir didn’t mince words when he accused them of treating Indian cricket as their “personal fiefdom.”

Gambhir didn’t identify anybody, but he gave enough clues to suggest that two previous Mumbai captains of India, who had criticized him since he was a player, were the subject of his tirade. “I have been working here for eight months. I don’t like criticism if it doesn’t produce results. People are supposed to be critical. At ABP News’ India At 2047 Summit, Gambhir said, “There are people who have been watching Indian cricket for 25 years and think it is their personal domain.” “The 140 crore Indians own Indian cricket, and it is not anyone’s personal property,” he said.

According to the blunt-spoken individual, “these people have raised questions about my coaching, concussions [when he left the 2011 Tour of England after a head injury], and distribution of Champions Trophy prize money.”

Gambhir’s “concussion” was described as not being very severe by a former India head coach who is now a pundit during the team’s 0–4 thumping by England in 2011.

In his piece for Sportstar, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar questioned if Gambhir would follow in Rahul Dravid’s footsteps and divide the Champions Trophy prize money with the support crew.
