Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has directed strong criticism towards Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of India, concerning his interaction with the media.
According to Manjrekar, Gambhir, who is known for his directness, lacks the appropriate demeanor and communication skills for media duties. Manjrekar believes that other figures, such as captain Rohit Sharma or chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar, would present a better face for the media.
The remarks from Manjrekar arise in response to Gambhir's recent press conference leading up to the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Despite several inquiries, Manjrekar did not clarify which aspects of the press conference were problematic to him.
