‘If your coach is the first one to crack…’: Paine on Gambhir

Former Australian captain Tim Paine has expressed concerns over Gautam Gambhir’s coaching style, describing it as “prickly” and potentially unsuitable for the Indian cricket team. Paine believes Gambhir’s recent spat with Ricky Ponting highlights a tendency to crack under pressure, which could be detrimental to India’s chances in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
