He said, “He speaks very little in team meetings and one-on-one conversations but is very clear about what needs to be done. He puts some challenges in front of you and assigns roles to the players. He has always been a ‘team coach’. He wants to win at all costs and he wants every player to give his 100 percent contribution.” Speaking about the conditions in Harare, Avesh said that he is enjoying bowling here. He has taken six wickets in the three matches played in the current series. He said, “We have played on different wickets here. We played the first two matches on the same wicket.

“I don’t believe in injury and workload management”- Gautam Gambhir created a sensation with this statement as soon as he became the head coach
Team India is scheduled to travel to Sri Lanka next month for the ODI and T20I series. Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: X) For the first time after becoming the head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir has given his statement on the injury and workload management of the players. But the statement given by Gambhir on this may irritate those players who often get injured. In the present times, looking at the way cricket is being played every day, injury management and workload management of the players are often mentioned. However, it is believed that after Gambhir becomes the head coach, some big changes will be seen in Indian cricket, the biggest change of which will be that the players will not get the break they want. Team India has to tour Sri Lanka next month to participate in the ODI and T20 International series and this will be the first assignment of head coach Gautam Gambhir. Gautam Gambhir gave a big statement regarding injury and workload management Just before the start of the Sri Lanka series, Gambhir has clearly said that if a player gets injured, he can recover and make a comeback, but he will not be given breaks repeatedly in the name of injury and workload management. Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir said on Star Sports, ‘Look, I have a strong belief in one thing that if you can play, then you should play in all three formats. I have never believed in injury management, if you get injured, go and recover, it’s as simple as that. When you play international cricket, you should do as much as you can. If you ask any top player, they want to play all three formats. They don’t want the tag of a red ball bowler or a white ball bowler. Injuries are a part of any player’s career, if you play all three formats and get injured, you can go back and recover and come back into the team. You should play all three formats, I don’t believe much in keeping some players just for Tests, that we will manage his injury, we will manage his workload. Look, as a professional cricketer your career is very short, you are playing for your country, so you should play as much as you can. If you are in very good form, then play all three formats.
Who will be the next mentor of KKR after Gautam Gambhir?? This player is leading in the race
Gautam Gambhir’s appointment as India’s new head coach means that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be without a mentor for the next season. Gambhir’s tenure has led them to three Indian Premier League titles, two as captain and one as mentor. Meanwhile, some media reports have revealed that the KKR management is already looking for Gambhir’s replacement. According to a report in The Telegraph, South African great and former franchise coach Jacques Kallis is the frontrunner to replace Gambhir as KKR mentor. Although Chandrakant Pandit is set to continue as the head coach of the team, the appointment of Kallis might force him to play a role similar to Gambhir. Jacques Kallis can become KKR’s mentor for IPL 2025 The report added, “The franchise is also looking for a replacement for Gambhir, who was crucial to their third IPL title this year. The name of South African great all-rounder Jacques Kallis, who coached KKR in 2019, is also doing the rounds.” Interestingly, Kallis was part of the 2012 and 2014 IPL title-winning Kolkata team when Gambhir was the captain of the team. After his retirement in 2014, Kallis joined KKR as batting consultant in 2015, followed by his appointment as the team’s coach after Trevor Bayliss’ departure. He stayed with KKR till 2019 and then joined the South African team as batting consultant. Apart from a mentor, KKR may also need a batting coach. According to reports, KKR batting consultant Abhishek Nair is also in the race to join Gambhir’s support staff as an assistant coach in Team India. Meanwhile, Gambhir will start his tenure as India’s head coach with the Sri Lanka tour. The former India opener replaced Rahul Dravid in this position.

It is worth noting that the pair of Chandrakant Pandit and Gautam Gambhir have worked for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2024. While Pandit was working as the head coach of the team, Gambhir was working as a mentor. So, under the leadership of both of them, the team not only finished at the top of the points table for the first time in IPL history, but also won the tournament for the third time. Before this, Gambhir had made KKR champion twice under his captaincy in 2012 and 2014. Chandrakant Pandit congratulated Gautam Gambhir Let us tell you that in a recent interview with News18, Chandrakant Pandit said- Yesterday I messaged him and congratulated him. This is a prestigious job and a prestigious role that he is going to play for our country. Obviously, I was very happy to message him, he also messaged me back and said thank you. Pandit further said about his relationship with Gambhir in KKR- We had a good rapport in the franchise, we used to discuss team strategies and plan with the captain to get a better combination. Obviously, now we will miss the conversation between each other. We are extremely excited to have Gambhir appointed as the head coach of the Indian cricket team. I am sure he will do a fantastic job, just as he has been doing for the last few years. He has been crucial to KKR’s success over the years. He also played a big role in India winning the World Cup in 2007 (T20) and 2011 (ODI). He has a lot of experience and is definitely the right choice. I am really happy for BCCI.

Flower further said- He is very decisive, he is a very proud Indian. He loves Indian cricket and his position of representing Indian cricket. I think this is a good appointment and he will prove to be successful. Also, for your information, let us tell you that Gambhir does not have much experience of coaching. He has played the role of mentor in Lucknow Super Giants for two seasons and Kolkata Knight Riders in the last IPL season. But now it remains to be seen whether the way he proved successful in Test cricket in Australia and England, he would be able to bring the same kind of success to the Indian team during his coaching tenure or not?
BCCI did not consult Virat Kohli before appointing Gautam Gambhir as coach, shocking report revealed
After Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir is the next head coach of Team India. Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: X/Twitter) As soon as Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, there has been a stir in Indian cricket. Meanwhile, another media report has surfaced which is related to Gautam Gambhir, hearing which the fans are absolutely surprised. Before appointing Gautam Gambhir as the head coach of the Indian cricket team, the BCCI did not consult Virat Kohli. Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach of Team India after the departure of Rahul Dravid. Let us tell you that Rahul Dravid’s tenure recently ended with the T20 World Cup 2024. Under his leadership, Team India played the finals of three ICC tournaments in the last one year, in which India won one and lost two. The kind of bonding Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir share is well known to all the fans. They hugged each other during IPL 2024, but they have been involved in heated arguments many times in the past and it was speculated that Kohli might play a big role in the selection of the new head coach, however, that was not the case when the board appointed Gautam Gambhir. BCCI appointed Gautam Gambhir as head coach without consulting Virat Kohli Virat Kohli has retired from the shortest format of cricket after the T20 World Cup, but it is believed that he will definitely play the ODI format at least till the 2027 World Cup. Keeping all these things in mind, the BCCI appointed Gambhir as the head coach without consulting Kohli. A BCCI source confirmed this to Hindustan Times. The BCCI source said, “There is enough time for talks between the two. But it is important for the BCCI to look at the bigger picture, as many young players can be seen playing for Team India in the coming years.” The report further states that Hardik Pandya was one of the few players whose opinion was taken by the BCCI before appointing Gambhir as India’s head coach. After Rohit Sharma’s retirement from T20, there are chances that Hardik Pandya can be made the captain of the team in this format.
