Gautam Gambhir, Bishan Singh Bedi air contrasting views on Shastri-Ganguly feud
Sourav Ganguly had earlier lashed out at Ravi Shastri saying the latter was living in "fool's world" if he held him responsible for the rejection.
Bishan Singh Bedi and Gautam Gambhir shared contrasting views on the raging verbal battle between former captains Ravi Shastri and Sourav Ganguly in the wake of the national coach appointment.
Bedi supported Shastri in what has become a major controversy. "Not getting coach's job apart RJSHASTRI has every reason 2b peeved with selection process whence 1 selector played truant..not above board!!" Bedi wrote.
After he was overlooked for the coach's job, Shastri slammed Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) Sourav Ganguly for not being present in the meeting when he was interviewed through skype.
India discard Gautam Gambhir spoke to ABP News and was also critical of Shastri's comments. "Ravi Shastri's comments only shows his desperation. Kumble is the best choice, he is hard working person," Gambhir told ABP News.
Ganguly on Wednesday hit back at Shastri saying that the former India all-rounder was living in "fool's world" if he held him responsible for the rejection.
Another former captain Anil Kumble was chosen ahead of Shastri as the head coach for a period of one year.
