Gautam Gambhir - a disappointing reality check

I always admired Gambhir for one thing above all - his brutal honesty about hero worship in Indian cricket. When everyone else tiptoed around big names, here was a guy who'd straight up say "no player is bigger than the game." Who'd call out the BS of keeping seniors just because of their star status. Who'd advocate for young talent over reputation. That's why it hurts to see him now. As Head Coach, he's become the very thing he fought against. Seniors are struggling, form is nowhere to be seen, but those tough calls he always preached about? Radio silence. Young talents like Gill still warming the bench while we keep taking L's with underperforming seniors. Man, I really thought he'd be different. That when push came to shove, he'd have the spine to make those difficult choices he always talked about. But turns out it's easier to preach moral courage than practice it. As they say, never watch your heroes become Head Coach.
