Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh won bronze medal, cricket world tweeted in their praise
With this medal, Bhaker’s name has been recorded in the history of Indian Olympics. She has become the first athlete from the country to win two medals in the same Olympic edition in 124 years. India has won two Olympic medals in shooting for the first time since the London Olympics-2012. Manu and Sarabjot had made it to the bronze medal match by scoring 580 in the qualification round. However, India did not get a good start in this match. In the first round, the Korean team scored 20.5 and India scored 18.8. But after this, both Manu and Sarabjot shot strongly. In the next round, India scored 21.2 and Korea scored 19.9. In the third round, India again won and scored 20.8 while Korea could score only 19.8. The Korean team asked for a time out before the sixth series but it was of no use. Manu and Sarabjot again did not give any chance to the Korean team and created history by winning the bronze. After winning the medal, Manu Bhaker was quoted by Jio Cinema as saying, “I am really feeling proud. I am very grateful that I was able to do this. Thanks for all the blessings. We cannot control (everything). We only want to control what is in our hands. Our plan was to keep fighting till the last shot.” The success of these two has created a buzz in the Indian cricket fraternity and they congratulated them on winning bronze medals at the Paris Olympics. Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir praised both the athletes and posted this in their praise.

BCCI source gave a big statement saying- The biggest challenge for Gautam Gambhir will be to manage the superstars
Gambhir is going to take up this responsibility from the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Gautam Gambhir (Pic Source-X) The ongoing T20I series against Sri Lanka was Gautam Gambhir’s first appointment as coach of any cricket team. But the real challenge for Gambhir will begin next month, when from August 2, he will have to join the ODI team, which includes some of the biggest names of Indian and international cricket. So, according to ESPN Cricinfo’s reports on this issue, a source closely associated with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) says that the biggest challenge for the Indian team’s head coach Gambhir will be to manage the superstars, which include big names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jaspreet Bumrah. Managing these players is not going to be easy for Gambhir. BCCI source gave a big statement Let us tell you that a BCCI source said about Gautam Gambhir- Managing these players is not an easy task. It is not like a franchise where you are the boss and you have your terms and conditions. That will not work here. You will have to pick up the phone in the dressing room of the Indian cricket team, talk to the players, in which Rahul Dravid was quite adept. The source further said- When Dravid joined this system, he found it a different kind of challenge, because the cricket scenario has changed a lot since his retirement. Every player is a millionaire and captains their respective franchise teams. So, this is going to be a big challenge for Gambhir. Also, according to the report, Gautam Gambhir has talked to veteran all-rounder Hardik Pandya and told him what he wants from him. For this, Gambhir has also requested the selectors committee that the all-rounder should be available for selection at all times.
Scott Styris is very eager to see Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli in the same dressing room, gave a big statement
In the past, there have been some clashes on the field between Kohli and Gambhir. Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir (Image Credit- Twitter There have been many clashes between former Indian players Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli during the IPL year after year. Both the players are known for their aggressive attitude on the field. The first clash between the two players was seen during the 2013 IPL, when Gambhir was the captain of KKR. So, during IPL 2023, there was a heated argument between the two players, when Gambhir was the mentor of the Lucknow Super Giants team. However, during IPL 2024, everything seemed to be settled between the two players, and both were seen laughing and joking a lot on the field. On the other hand, recently Gautam Gambhir has become the new head coach of Team India after the T20 World Cup 2024. After this, Gambhir and Virat Kohli will have to work in the same dressing room. So now a big statement of former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris has come out regarding this matter. Scott Styris gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently, quoting India Today, Scott Styris said about the fight between the two – Yes, this is a really good question. I think we have to wait and see. I don’t think anyone can sit here and say that it will work so well or it won’t work. Styris further said, “I think both the players will just try to speak a little less and observe how things are working with the team, in terms of managing Virat Kohli.” Gautam will be looking to Virat Kohli to lead all the young players. We don’t know about that relationship right now how it will be, but there are two different players in the team who have two different strengths in the group.
“This is the template we want to play with”- Suryakumar explains India’s approach in the T20 format
India’s newly appointed T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav stressed the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and fearless approach after his team’s consecutive victories against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you that under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the T20 series against Sri Lanka. Suryakumar has performed brilliantly with the bat on both days. The Indian team started the T20 series with a 43-run win on Saturday. They then won the second T20I by seven wickets at Pallekele on Sunday. Meanwhile, in the press conference after the match, Surya talked about the team’s future strategy in the shortest format and how Team India will approach the format in the upcoming matches. This is the ‘template’ we want to move forward with – Suryakumar Yadav Suryakumar Yadav said after the match, “We talked about what kind of cricket we want to play before the start of the tournament. This is the ‘template’ we want to move forward with.” He further said, “A score of less than 160 would have been good in bad weather. The rain helped us. The way the boys batted was fantastic.” Now the result of the last match of the series will not matter, so when Suryakumar was asked if there is a possibility of some players from the ‘reserve bench’ getting a chance, he said, “We will sit and decide. I am very happy for the boys. They performed very well in difficult circumstances.” India’s googly specialist Ravi Bishnoi was happy that his ‘wrong on’ ball is proving to be effective for him. Ravi Bishnoi, who became the player of the match in the second T20 against Sri Lanka, said after the match, “The pitch was a little different from yesterday. Today in the first innings it helped the spinners. I stuck to my plan. I like to bowl the ‘wrong on’ ball. It is a good responsibility because it means that the captain and management trust me.”
“Nobody is bigger than the game and the team”- Sanjay Manjrekar’s post about Gautam Gambhir went viral like fire
After Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach of Team India. Sanjay Manjrekar and Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty Images) Gautam Gambhir will start his tenure with Team India as head coach from today (July 27). With the end of the T20 World Cup 2024, Rahul Dravid’s tenure as head coach also ended. After this, Gautam Gambhir was appointed the next head coach of Team India and under him, Team India is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. On this tour of Sri Lanka, Team India will play three-match ODI and Test series. Before the start of this series, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has made a surprising tweet about Gautam Gambhir. In fact, ever since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, there has been such statements in the media that Team India has not got a bigger coach than Gambhir till date. However, Manjrekar does not seem to agree with this. He says that no coach or player can be bigger than the team. This tweet of Sanjay Manjrekar rapidly went viral on social media Sanjay Manjrekar posted a tweet, “No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten and Rahul Dravid. Coaches were there when India won the World Cup in 1983, 2007, 2011 and 2024. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. It’s time we stop thinking there is a direct connection between the two.” No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten & Dravid. Coaches when India won WCs in 1983, 2007, 2011 & 2023. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. Time we stop thinking there is a direct correlation. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) July 27, 2024 When the Indian team led by Kapil Dev won the World Cup in 1983 by defeating the two-time defending champion West Indies, the team did not have a head coach at that time. Whereas, when Team India became the champion of the T20 World Cup in 2007, Lalchand Rajput was the director of the team, because Greg Chappell was removed 6 months ago after the poor performance in the ODI World Cup. However, during the 2011 ODI World Cup, the head coach of the winning team was Gary Kirsten. This was the first time that Team India won the World Cup and a head coach was present with the team. After this, now it has happened in 2024 that the head coach was with the team and the team became the world champion. This is the reason why Gautam Gambhir has a big responsibility on his shoulders, because in the coming time India has to win many ICC tournaments.

During this, the players of the team were seen talking to the new captain of the T20 International team, Suryakumar Yadav. Gautam Gambhir was seen giving batting tips to Sanju Samson during the training session Let us tell you that during this practice session, Gautam Gambhir spent time with all-rounder Shivam Dubey on the field after talking to Sanju Samson who was practicing batting. Gambhir also gave some batting tips to Samson. It is known that Samson was a part of the 15-member Indian team of the T20 World Cup, but he did not get a chance to play a single match during the tournament.

In such a situation, it is not clear whether the captain of Rajasthan Royals will be included in Team India’s playing eleven or not. It is very unfortunate that Samson made his T20 debut for India in 2015 at the age of only 20. In the last 9 years, he has been able to play only 28 matches for Team India. Now it remains to be seen how many opportunities Sanju Samson gets on this tour of Sri Lanka. The first T20 match of the series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on 27 July.

‘So I will use my full potential now’, Suryakumar made a funny comment on a statement made by Gambhir
The first match of the T20 series will be played between India and Sri Lanka today Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir (Image Credit- X) The three-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka is starting from today. Suryakumar Yadav will captain the Indian team and Shubman Gill will be the vice-captain of the team. Gautam Gambhir is going to start his tenure as the head coach from the Sri Lanka tour. In this way Surya and coach Gambhir will start a new phase together. Let us tell you that Suryakumar Yadav has played for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL under the captaincy of Gambhir. During a recent discussion, Gautam Gambhir talked about the ideal role of a leader and also spoke about his seven-year tenure as KKR captain. Gambhir lamented that neither he nor the team fully utilized Suryakumar Yadav’s potential during his tenure with the franchise. Gambhir told Sportskeeda, the role of a leader is to identify the best potential and showcase it to the world. If I have any regret in my seven years of captaincy, it is that I and we as a team never managed to make the best use of Suryakumar Yadav. The reason for this was the combination. Suryakumar gave a funny answer in the press conference During the pre-match press conference on the eve of today’s T20 match, Surya, while discussing his deep relationship with Gambhir, jokingly responded to Gambhir’s previous comments. He said that there is nothing to worry about, as now the potential will be fully utilized and stressed that no laxity will be tolerated in this. “So, I will utilise my full potential now,” Suryakumar said smilingly, as quoted by NDTV Sports. Suryakumar further said in the conversation, the same train will move forward, only the engine has changed, while the bogies will remain unchanged. Nothing has changed, it is the same brand of cricket. This (captaincy role) does not change anything. It has given me an additional responsibility. It is good that now I can negotiate.
