South African media slams Gambhir's arrogance..!?

A South African media outlet has harshly criticized the interview of indian team coach gautam Gambhir. It has been said that "Gambhir's arrogance is very cruel" and "Gambhir's talk that india has no advantage due to the dubai stadium borders on madness." The main reason for this criticism of Gambhir is the damage caused to the South African team. If you look at that and what Gambhir said, you will understand why the South African media is criticizing him.
The South African team lost to new zealand in the semi-finals of the 2025 Champions Trophy series. There has been criticism and controversy that the indian team is playing its matches in dubai is one of the reasons for this. It is against this backdrop that the South African media has criticized Gambhir's interview. Although the 2025 Champions Trophy series will be held in pakistan, since the indian team refused to tour pakistan, only the matches played by the indian team are being held in Dubai. In this, whether the indian team advances to the final or the final match, those matches will also be held in dubai, which has caused confusion in the match schedule. Since it is not known which team the indian team will face in the semi-finals, the South African and Australian teams traveled to dubai during the third group round match of the indian team. This was criticized in the cricket world as a stupid thing. Why is only the indian team being given a favorable thing? How can only that one team play all their matches in the same stadium? This question was raised by former players from many countries. Meanwhile, as the indian team was set to play australia in the semi-finals, the South African team traveled from pakistan to dubai and then from dubai back to Pakistan. Then, south africa lost in the semi-finals against New Zealand.
Meanwhile, gautam gambhir was asked about this in a press conference. That is, "Is it being said that the indian team playing on the same ground is a positive thing for the indian team?" gautam gambhir attacked the journalists and said, "Some people always keep the baby in the cradle and rock it. They never grow up." "What is positive? We have never practiced even a single day at the dubai stadium. We practice at the ICC Academy. There is a 180-degree difference between these two places. The situation here is not there. "If you look at the wickets in both places, it's like the difference between heaven and earth," Gambhir said. South African media review: In a review article published by South African media IOL, it was written, "Gautam Gambhir's attack on the journalists after the semi-final win against australia borders on madness. Former indian opener gautam gambhir seems to have forgotten that the ICC Academy and the dubai International Stadium are only a few hundred meters away. But we cannot support him for that. Gambhir's arrogance in this overall situation is outrageous." The issue has created a stir in the cricket world.
