It is worth noting that recently Gambhir has been appointed as the new coach of the Indian team. Flower has worked with Gambhir for two years with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL. Flower has also termed the inclusion of Gambhir in Indian cricket management as an excellent decision of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Andy Flower supported Gautam Gambhir’s appointment as head coach Let us tell you that after Gautam Gambhir was appointed as the new head coach of the Indian cricket team, Andy Flower was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying – Well, the first thing he will have to do is give up his Legends League cricket. He (Gautam Gambhir) is a nice person. I really enjoyed working with him. He has a strong opinion, he is very strong and clear about the game. 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?

Know what Dravid said to Kohli? “I will always remember this day because I was not able to contribute the way I wanted to during the entire tournament. I also told Rahul bhai that I have not done justice to myself and the team till now,” Kohli said while meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Thursday morning. Virat further said, “Then he told me that when the situation comes, I am sure you will come into form. So this conversation happened between us and when we went to play, I told Rohit, I was not so confident that I would be able to bat the way I wanted to. So when we went to play, I got three fours in the first 4 balls, then I went and told him, what kind of game is this? One day it seems that not a single run will be scored and then a day comes and everything starts happening.” The former Indian captain said, “When we lost wickets, I surrendered myself to the situation and focused on what the team needed from me. I was kept in that zone, but I felt tied up in that moment. Later, I realised that what has to happen will happen.” Let us tell you that after India became the T20 World Cup champion, Virat Kohli said goodbye to T20I international and talked about giving a chance to the next generation.
