Coach Gambhir rejects Shreyas' claim, slams Indian batters after NZ horror show

What's behind this

Coach Gautam Gambhir rejected a claim made by Shreyas Iyer and criticised the Indian batting after a heavy fourth‑ODI loss to New Zealand. India were bowled out for 89 while chasing 334, a collapse Gambhir said was not a one‑off and occurred in conditions similar to those expected for next year’s World Cup in South Africa. He highlighted Matt Henry’s career‑best six‑wicket haul (6/27) as evidence of the team’s struggle against quality seam bowling and warned that there were no ‘unplayable deliveries’, calling for urgent improvement.
