India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate is reportedly set to leave after the England tour for personal reasons, with Gautam Gambhir expected to take the final call.
India head coach Gautam Gambhir defended his young T20 side after England's 125-run win, saying rebuilding after the World Cup triumph will take time and patience.
India head coach Gautam Gambhir has backed Sai Sudharsan as the team's long-term No. 3 batter, saying the youngster deserves an extended run ahead of the one-off Test against Afghanistan.
India head coach Gautam Gambhir backed Rishabh Pant's aggressive approach despite his removal as Test vice-captain, saying the wicketkeeper-batter must improve his reading of match situations.
Gautam Gambhir had criticised Azad for questioning the leadership group’s decision to take the trophy to a Hanuman temple near the stadium following India’s victory in the T20 World Cup final in Ahmedabad.
Both Gambhir and Cummins have been handed over the reins of their respective sides ahead of this season after both teams endured mid-table finishes over the past few seasons.
The 42-year-old, who currently is the mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), suggested that the commentators and cricket experts must be balanced in their approach when it comes to these young players as such praises after mere two-three performances could backfire for them.
The Statesman understands that Gambhir has no experience of coaching at international or domestic level but has been in charge of the coaching staff at two IPL franchises.
In their heydays, both Gambhir and Dhoni were instrumental in two of India’s three ICC title wins.
Gambhir, whose association with the franchise dates back to the fourth edition of the IPL in 2011, was instrumental in reviving a struggling side, taking them to the knockout stages in his first year as captain. Subsequently, the KKR went on to win two titles between 2012 and 2014.
