India head coach Gautam Gambhir appeared relieved but had fire in his eyes and certain conviction in his voice as he didn 't hold back in what was a fiery presser after India thrashed South Africa by 9 wickets in the 3rd ODI to clinch the three-match series 2-1. Gambhir responded to his critics in his usual fashion, also singling out an unnamed 'IPL team owner '. Gambhir slammed him for suggesting a specialist red-ball coach for India, advising him not to interfere in what the Indian coach believes is not the IPL owner 's domain. It was an indirect attack on Delhi Capitals (DC) co-owner Parth Jindal, who had suggested a red-ball coach after India 's 2-0 drubbing in the Test series against the Proteas at home. Without naming him, Gambhir made it clear that split coaching is unlikely for India anytime soon. As a sports fan and a businessman who has contributed significantly towards building a robust sporting infrastructure in the country, Jindal was well within...

India head coach Gautam Gambhir didn 't hold back as he launched a fierce attack on his critics following India 's dominant 9-wicket victory in the third and final ODI against South Africa in Vizag on Saturday. India clinched the three-match ODI series 2-1 with their thumping win in Vizag as they bounced back to winning ways after a dismal 2-0 whitewash in the recently concluded Test series against the Proteas. While he admitted results have not gone in India 's favour in Tests, Gambhir lashed out at an 'IPL owner ' for crossing the line and suggesting split coaching.

Gambhir was on the firing line ahead of the ODI series against South Africa, with many questioning his...
