Iceland Cricket, known for its social media banter, poked fun at India’s cricket coach Gautam Gambhir after India’s defeat in the T20I series against Ireland. India, the two-time world champions, suffered a 2-0 loss to Ireland, ending their 16-series unbeaten streak that lasted nearly three years. Iceland Cricket humorously mentioned that they have no plans to hire Gautam Gambhir despite acknowledging his coaching abilities.
The jest was aimed at India’s star-studded team, including players like Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, and Abhishek Sharma, who struggled against Ireland’s impressive bowling attack. Under Gambhir’s leadership, India had a remarkable unbeaten streak in T20I series until this defeat. The series loss to Ireland came after India’s successful performances against teams like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, South Africa, England, Australia, and New Zealand.
India’s recent visit to Ireland marked their first tour since 2023, with previous encounters resulting in victories for India. However, Ireland managed to secure their maiden win against India in the T20I series, clinching both matches convincingly. The series victory was a historic moment for Ireland in their cricketing journey.
