New Delhi: India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday hit back at former captain Kris Srikkanth for alleging that pace bowler Harshit Rana has been picked in the ODI squad for the tour of Australia for being his "yes man".

Srikkanth had alleged on his YouTube Channel that Rana was in the national side only because of Gambhir.

"It's shameful that someone wanting to run his YouTube channel is targeting a 23-yea-old. If you want to target me, do it. I can handle it, but trolling a 23-year-old kid for YouTube views is shameful," said Gambhir in the press conference that followed India's 2-0 Test series triumph over the West Indies here.

"His (Rana's) father is not a selector. He has played cricket on his own merit. Don't target these young boys," he added.
