“Stay Away From Social Media Till T20 World Cup” Ajinkya Rahane Advises Coach Gambhir

Last week, Congress MP Shahshi Tharoor tweeted that Gautam Gambhir’s job is the second most difficult job after PM Narendra Modi. This tweet garnered instant buzz on social media platforms as it nudged outside rumours of rift between senior players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. 

To which even Gautam Gambhir replied that there is no such as the coach’s unlimited authority and felt surprised by the fact that there are as such reports of stress amongst the players. 

Thanks a lot Dr @ShashiTharoor! When the dust settles, truth & logic about a coach’s supposedly “unlimited authority” will become clear. Till then I’m amused at being pitted against my own who are the very best! https://t.co/SDNzLt73v5

As his personal opinion he said till the World Cup isn’t finished he should adhere to his form and stay away from social connectivity.
