NEW DELHI: The role of head coach Gautam Gambhir and his support staff in managing a squad in transition has also come into attention as Indian cricket struggles with the declining performance of its two batting mainstays, captain Rohit Sharma and senior batter Virat Kohli.
The team has had a tough time finding the ideal mix against an aggressive and highly motivated Australian team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The fifth and final Test match, which India must win, will begin on Friday at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
