Let us tell you that Gambhir is going to take over the responsibility of the head coach in Team India from India’s tour against Sri Lanka starting from July 27. Gambhir’s appointment was announced by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah through a post shared on social media. On the other hand, Gambhir is going to replace Rahul Dravid in the Indian cricket team, whose tenure with the Indian team ended after winning the T20 World Cup 2024. Gambhir says that he has a big place to fill. Gautam Gambhir gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the Indian cricket team flew for the tour against Sri Lanka, a press conference was held at the BCCI headquarters today on 22 July. In this conference, Gambhir said- I am leading a very successful team. Winner of T20 World Cup 2024, runner-up of WTC and ODI World Cup 2023. It is not that this is not a successful team, but I have a big place to fill. It will be interesting to see how Team India is going to perform under Gambhir’s coaching now? However, Gambhir’s support staff will include Abhishek Nair and Ryan ten Doeschate, who were part of the staff that made Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) champions for the third time in IPL 2024, in the role of assistant coaches. On the other hand, if we talk about Dravid’s tenure with Team India, under his coaching the team emerged as the number 1 team in ODI and Test cricket, while Team India became the champion of Asia Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024.
Washington Sundar is ready to give 100% for India, said this on replacing Ravindra Jadeja
In the match played at Harare Sports Club ground, after winning the toss and batting first, Team India scored 182 runs in 20 overs on the basis of Captain Gill’s half century. While chasing this target, half of Zimbabwe’s team was out on 39 runs. However, on the basis of Myers’ half century, the team managed to avoid a shameful defeat in this match. Zimbabwe’s team could only reach 159 runs on the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. Washington Sundar took the maximum 3 wickets in bowling for Team India and also won the Player of the Match award. Man of the Match Washington Sundar said- ‘To be honest, it feels very good. This pitch was very good for bowling. Earlier also, bowlers have got help in both the matches.’ Does Washington Sundar want to replace Ravindra Jadeja? Washington was named Player of the Match, which will give him a lot of confidence. The 24-year-old was never a regular in the Indian team, as the selectors preferred Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel over him. However, after Jadeja’s retirement from the shortest format of the game, there is scope for Washington to cement his position in the T20I team. Though the Chennai-born cricketer is not focused on playing Jadeja’s role, he is ready to give his 100% whenever the national team needs him. He says he wants to prepare well and be there for the team whenever needed. “I need to perform where I am good and what I am capable of, especially with my preparation. I have to give my 100 per cent every day. That is something I have not compromised on.” “It is a huge opportunity for me to play for India and I am blessed with it. I have to keep doing my job, keep preparing and keep getting better. That way everything will be taken care of.”

He also said that it is quite difficult to replace Kohli. It is very difficult. Know what Gaikwad said “It’s a big topic and I think this is not the right time to think about it.

The right-handed batsman further said, as I said in the IPL also that it is difficult to fill the place of Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni). Of course, you want to start your career, you want to start as per your wish, you want to play your game. So, this is my priority right now.
