Sourav Ganguly makes no bones about it: ‘Gautam Gambhir needs to get better’


India coach Gautam Gambhir is on cloud nine these days. And why wouldn’t he be? His team only days ago won the T20 World Cup. Like everyone else, former India captain Sourav Ganguly is pleased, but he still thinks there is a lot more to be done. Winning the T20 World Cup is not going to be a panacea.

Sourav Ganguly is spot on with his remarks.

And he has hit the nail on the head. Gambhir has struggled in Tests. During his tenure, India have been whitewashed at home twice, in 2024 by New Zealand, in 2025 by South Africa. The previous instance when they were whitewashed at home transpired way back in 1999-2000. In addition, Gambhir also saw India lose 3-1 on their tour of Australia in 2024-25. While Ganguly is full of praise for Gambhir, he demands more.

“Gautam is a very good coach. If you remember, I said on your platform ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy that you need to give the man some time. You can show him the clip when he comes to your conclave. As a white-ball coach, he is very good, especially in these conditions. He has a very good team and is a very good coach. In the red ball, he needs to get better,” Moneycontrol quoted Ganguly as saying.

Ganguly’s pearls of wisdom for Gambhir

Of late, India have been accused of making too spin-friendly pitches to take the opposition teams back. However, their tactics have backfired as suggested by their losses against New Zealand and South Africa. Ganguly, who has been vocal about this subject in the past too, has once again reiterated what he thinks of the matter, giving Gambhir an important piece of advice in the process.

“And the way to do it is to think less about the wicket. He needs to get the wicket out of his system. Take the England series [which India drew 2-2]. He couldn’t do anything about the wicket, and you can see the results. He doesn’t need to play on turners at home. Good wickets will produce good results,” he said.

The Prince of Kolkata also made it clear that India’s Tour of South Africa early next year would be a big challenge for Gambhir.

“Also, his real test in white ball is going to be in South Africa in 2027. Conditions there will test him, but I am confident he will get it right with the team he has,” Ganguly said.

'Jasprit Bumrah is the Usman Tariq of fast bowlers': Pakistan selector Aaqib Javed makes shocking claim

NEW DELHI: Pakistan selector Aaqib Javed on Saturday sparked debate after making a surprising comparison between Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah and Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq. His remarks came after India’s strong campaign in the T20 World Cup, where Bumrah played a key role in the team’s success.Bumrah was one of the standout players of the tournament, finishing as the joint-highest wicket-taker with 14 wickets alongside Varun Chakravarthy.

IPL 2026 should be audition for the next India T20I captain

His best performance came in the final against New Zealand national cricket team in Ahmedabad, where he produced a brilliant spell of 4/15 in four overs. The performance helped India secure a dominant 96-run victory and defend their title, earning Bumrah the Player of the Match award.

Poll

Do you agree with comparison of Jasprit Bumrah and Usman Tariq with Aaqib Javed?

Explaining his comparison, Javed said Bumrah’s bowling style is rare because of his unusual action and the difficulty batters face in settling against him. “In today’s era, across this entire World Cup, there is only one bowler like that – Bumrah. Because he is different. He is not a normal bowler. Even his action is unusual. When he comes in to bowl, I always say he is like the Usman Tariq of fast bowlers,” he told reporters.He further explained that Bumrah’s pace and unique rhythm make him extremely hard to face. “He bowls so quickly and in such a unique manner that a batter never really finds any flow or rhythm against him. He simply doesn’t allow it,” he added.Javed also argued that bowlers with the aura of past greats are becoming rare in modern cricket. “Other than him, tell me one more bowler in this entire World Cup – from any team – whom you can look at and feel satisfied that he carries the reflection of a Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, or anyone like that. You won’t find one anymore,” he further noted.

LPG relief: Two Indian vessels cross Strait of Hormuz safely with 92,700 tonne cargo, set to dock March 16 & 17

In a boost to domestic energy supplies amid disruptions in West Asia, two Indian-flagged LPG carriers safely crossed the conflict-hit Strait of Hormuz early Saturday and are now on course for ports in Gujarat. LPG carriers Shivalik and Nanda Devi are heading to Mundra and Kandla, respectively, Rajesh Kumar Sinha, Special Secretary in the Ministry of Shipping, said at a media briefing. The ships are carrying a combined 92,700 tonne of LPG and are expected to dock at Indian ports on March 16 or 17, he said. The two vessels were among 24 ships that had been stranded on the western side of the strategic waterway since the war broke out in the region.

Petrol, diesel stocks adequate

India has sufficient availability of petrol and diesel and refineries are operating at full capacity despite disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict, a senior petroleum ministry official said, urging consumers to avoid panic booking of LPG cylinders.Addressing an inter-ministerial briefing, Joint Secretary (Marketing & Oil Refinery) Sujata Sharma said the country currently has enough crude supplies and domestic production is meeting fuel requirements.“As far as crude oil and refineries are concerned, we have a sufficient supply of crude and our refineries are operating at full capacity. There have been no reports of any dry-out at retail outlets. Adequate petrol and diesel are available,” she said.She added that India does not need to import petrol and diesel at present. “We produce enough petrol and diesel in the country according to our requirements, and therefore there is no need for us to import them,” Sharma said.

LPG supply under watch, PNG push for commercial users

While domestic fuel supplies remain stable, the official flagged concerns about cooking gas availability amid the prevailing geopolitical situation.“Regarding LPG supply, I would like to say that it is still a matter of concern for us in view of the prevailing geopolitical situation. However, no dry-out has been reported,” she said.The government is encouraging commercial consumers facing supply disruptions to switch to piped natural gas (PNG). In this context, the Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) has held meetings with city gas distribution operators to facilitate immediate PNG connections wherever feasible.“There was considerable discussion regarding commercial cylinders, and after that it was decided that some LPG should also be supplied to commercial consumers,” Sharma said, adding that distribution has begun in about 29 states and Union territories.

Panic booking spikes, govt appeals for restraint

Sharma also pointed to a sharp increase in LPG bookings, describing the trend as panic-driven.“Panic booking is still happening on a very large scale. Yesterday, we informed you that the number of bookings was around 7.5-7.6 million, and now that number has increased to almost 8.8 million. So this is nothing but panic booking,” she said.Appealing for restraint, she urged consumers to place orders only when required. “I would like to appeal to the citizens of the country to avoid panic booking and to make bookings only when there is an actual need. This will be good for everyone,” Sharma added.Highlighting the progress in digital adoption, the official said most LPG bookings are already being made online. “Online booking is currently about 84 per cent, but it needs to improve to almost 100 per cent,” she said.(With inputs from agencies)
