Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has slammed the Indian cricket team’s support staff after their abysmal tour of Australia ended with a 1-3 scoreline.

While most of the Indian cricket team players have been singled out for criticism, Gavaskar also pointed fingers at the coaches. Since taking over the reins of the Indian cricket team from Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir has brought Abhishek Nayar batting coach, Ryan ten Doeschate as fielding coach and Morne Morkel as bowling coach.

“Aapke coaching staff kya kar rahe the? (What was your coaching staff doing in Australia?) Your bowling coach and your batting coach… your batting coach, in particular, against New Zealand when we were bowled for 46, and the way we were defeated in the remaining matches. Batting main koi dum nahi tha (There was no punch in the batting). Here also our batting was not strong enough, so questions should be asked what have you guys done? Why can’t we see any improvement?”
