The worst thing about Gambhir’s coaching isn’t even the results, it’s the stubbornness. Every decision feels like it’s made just to prove everyone else wrong.

There was every reason to give Suryavanshi a game, yet he didn’t. It’s as if doing the opposite of public expectation has become the strategy itself. Being unpredictable is fine, being predictably contrarian isn’t.

Right now, it looks less like bold coaching and more like ego getting in the way of common sense. #IndVsIre #India #Ireland

Shreyas never earned his spot in this team as a player. Importing him as captain was absolutely ridiculous decision and it’s showing. If he wasn’t in this team, there was a place was Vaibhav by sending Sanju at 3 and Ishan at 4.

[Ctrl C Ctrl Memes @Ctrlmemes_]

First coach to get whitewash by Ireland 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let's laugh on Gautam Gambhir 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Krishna Anand @KrishnaAnand_]

Gautam Gambhir is a salty, vengeful human being. He can’t tolerate anybody getting the limelight. There’s no other reason he’s not playing Sooryanvanshi.

He will play him straight in England, so if he fails, he’s out of the Indian team for 5 years. He can’t tolerate ‘star culture’ as he’s already said.

Can you resign @GautamGambhir The worst coach ever. Idiotic team selection

[GOAT¹⁸ 🇬🇧 @SaviorKohli]

Lost 2-0 to SL after 27 yrs
Lost 3-0 to NZ after 12 yrs
Lost 3-1 to aus after 11 yrs
Lost 2-0 to Ireland now

Gautam Gambhir is arguably the worst coach Indian team has ever had.

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

Against teams like Ireland, Australia would send their B or C team.

And here people are debating how can you drop the opener or any player, coz so much form, parampara, pratishtha, anushasan and other l**da lassun.

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

He didn’t let Suryavanshi make a debut in the 2nd match as well. Amazing guy :)

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

Gambhir likes to base his decisions not on logic. But how unpopular they will be. It’s like he’s punishing the general public for ignoring him in 2011 WC final. Some of those unpopular decisions work, but most don’t. Hope Shreyas Iyer can show some spine.

I was fourteen, walking home from school in Paris with my French-American friend. Summer was around the corner and the heat was relentless.

‘You must be used to this heat,’ she said.

‘Not really,’ I replied. ‘We lived in the hills in India before we came to Paris.’

‘Hills? I didn’t know India had hills.’

‘We have the Himalayas,” I had replied. ‘The highest mountains in the world.’

She stopped dead.

‘You’ve got to be kidding! The highest mountains are in America.’

That expression of absolute certainty is etched into my memory even today.

Twenty years later, when I met her again in New York, I reminded her of that conversation. We couldn’t stop ourselves from laughing.

So anyway that afternoon we went home, and I opened my Philips Atlas and showed her the Himalayas.

‘You know,’ she said thoughtfully, ‘ I’d always wondered about that weird name. I just assumed it was some Native American name.’

A few weeks later, in geography class, while studying the Alps, our teacher announced they were the highest mountains in the world.

My newly enlightened friend proudly corrected her.

‘Actually, the Himalayas are.’

The teacher shot me a look that instantly identified the culprit behind this inconvenient fact.

Then, without missing a beat, she recovered.
‘Yes… but the Himalayas are the newest highest mountains. The Alps were the oldest highest mountains.’

Case closed.

At fourteen, I learnt one of life’s great lessons: The West doesn’t just write history, geography, science. It often decides it.

If something is ancient, extraordinary or foundational, somehow it must have originated in Europe or at the very least be explained through a European lens.

The Rig Veda became “Aryan.” A Middle Eastern Jew named Jesus acquired blond hair and blue eyes.
Even Panini, at one point, seemed to belong to everyone except India.

Now, apparently, Panini is Pakistani.

Progress, I suppose.
From ‘ that’s impossible’ to ‘it was ours all along.’

The script changes. The narrator doesn’t.

Vaibhav not playing again.
I think Gambhir and Iyer are not selecting the team based on merit.
Iyer is lemme-show-the-public-I-dont care-what-they think.
Gambhir is lets-put-the-young-boy-in-his place.
Absolute nonsense. Unfair on Vaibhav. Unfair on the fans in both India and Ireland.

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

Letting Shedge make a debut before Suryavanshi is nothing but being sadistic. It’s like rubbing in your face, saying Hey kid, I am the boss. You don’t play with the emotions of a 15 year old. Nurture your talent, don’t shit on it

I hope RSS starts to have a very hard look within, as it's middle level leadership is now into corruption, luxury and hubristic interference in polity...

Headquarters of European Commission is in a building with 13 floors.

Due to heatwave, EU shut down aircondition of floors 1 to 7 where lower rank official works.

Remaining floors from 8 to 13 was kept on.

Europeans are Classists!!!

[Shashank Shekhar Jha @shashank_ssj]

Pure hatred and negativity against 15-year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi shows your vile nature. You were a failure in your entire cricket career and now you are standing against the kid who wants to make nation proud.

[Twilight @the_marcoliboy]

Norway ruined a generational fixture, these are not VIKINGS, they are just COWARDS

[Abhinav Agarwal @AbhinavAgarwal]

That is, to put it politely, an asinine take.
Vaibhav is the best T20 player in the world today.

And Manjrekar is flatulating, as is his wont, about "meritocracy".
