'Frustrated' Gambhir does shadow practice in dressing room amid Gabba horror; fans say, 'He's teaching Kohli how to...'
Hindustan TimesIt was a forgettable Day 3 for India at the Gabba in Brisbane, as the top order was rattled for just 44 runs by a relentless Australian pace attack in testing conditions in a rain-marred third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. The "frustration" was quite visible in the Indian dressing room as well, with head coach Gautam Gambhir spotted doing shadow practice, and his act left fans wondering if he was showing Virat Kohli how to leave balls down the corridor of uncertainty. India's team coach Gautam Gambhir looks on during a practice session On a stop-start day, with rain interrupting the proceedings as many as six times before early stumps were called, India bowled out Australia for 445 in their first innings. Amid the shoddy batting performance, Gambhir was seen doing shadow practice in the Indian dressing room, where he was rather enacting how to leave the balls outside the off stump line. Heading into possibly his final Border-Gavaskar Trophy series appearance on the back of a lean run against New Zealand at home, the former India captain did shut is critics with a century in Perth, which even helped him move back to top 20 in the ICC Test rankings.
