India suffered their biggest setback of this year in the recently concluded Test series against New Zealand at home which they lost 0-3.

This was India's first Test defeat at home after 12 years and the disappointing result has triggered heavy criticism of players and the new coaching staff led by Gautam Gambhir.

Ahead of Rohit Sharma-led side's scheduled departure to Australia for the much-anticipated five-Test series for the Border Gavaskar Trophy, India’s team management met with the top Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) hierarchy.

The meeting was conducted to review the series' defeat against New Zealand with skipper Rohit Sharma, chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar and Gambhir in attendance along with BCCI secretary Jay Shah and president Roger Binny.

As per a report in the PTI, after the discussion over a number of topis, it seemed that Gambhir and the team think-tank are currently not "on the same page" when it comes to certain decisions regarding the team.

Notably, the series loss has also put India’s chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship in jeopardy.

"It can't be confirmed whether Gambhir's coaching style was questioned or not but it is understood that some people in the Indian team think tank aren't on the same page with the chief coach," the PTI report stated

There were also discussions about Gambhir's style of coaching which is very different from his predecessor Rahul Dravid and how the team is getting used to it.

"It was a six-hour marathon meeting which was obviously on the cards after such a debacle. India are going on a tour of Australia and the BCCI would obviously like to ensure that the team is back on track and would like to know how the think-tank (Gambhir-Rohit-Agarkar) are going about it," a senior BCCI source was quoted by PTI as saying.

With Jay Shah set to resign at the month-end and take over as the new role of ICC chairman next month, the meeting may end up being his last meeting with the team management in his current position.

India’s squad will depart for Australia in two batches, on November 10 and 11. The first Test will commence on November 22 in Perth.
