After series defeats against Sri Lanka and New Zealand, India head coach Gautam Gambhir is under the scanner as the BCCI is looking to snatch a major power from Gambhir's hands after the recent humilations.
It is worth noting that when Gambhir was appointed India's head coach, he was given an exception and was made a part of the selection meetings, where he gave his inputs. However, Unless there is a remarkable turnaround in Australia, Gambhir, who was given a free hand in selection matters, may not have as much say in issues concerning the team in the coming times.
Gautam Gambhir Likely To Lose Team Selection Rights
Right after Gambhir took over, India lost an ODI series to Sri Lanka for the first time in 27 years, and then New Zealand completed a 3-0 whitewash of his side in Tests at home on Sunday, something the team never experienced in its long cricketing journey.
"Gautam Gambhir was given access which his predecessors Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid didn't have. The BCCI's rule book doesn't allow coaches to be a part of the selection committee meetings, but for Australia tour selection meeting, an exception was made," BCCI official quoted.

"The head coach was allowed to attend considering the magnitude of the tour," a senior BCCI source told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
Australia Series Crucial For Gambhir
The Australia series will be an acid test for Gambhir as he might have to also become the harbinger of doom for some senior players and show them the mirror as the board watches his moves from the sidelines.
The whitewash has also put the maverick Delhi man under the lens. The inputs for this article has been taken from PTI.
