Senior players like Virat Kohli won’t be as important in Tean India going forward, according to Dale Steyn, who stated that aggressive players like Gautam Gambhir are what the game of cricket needs.https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/in-gautam-gambhirs-team-india-virat-kohli-and-other-seniors-might-not-play-big-part-anymore-feels-dale-steyn-101720710535694.html
Gautam Gambhir is a huge follower of Dale Steyn, the legendary bowler from South Africa. Steyn is certain that Gambhir would infuse the Indian dressing room with his aggression. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah formally introduced Gambhir as India’s head coach on Tuesday. The next series between India and Sri Lanka will mark Gambhir’s coaching debut on the international scene.https://24indiannews.com/https-24indiannews-comp83/
The two-time ICC World Cup champion took over for Rahul Dravid, who in his final assignment led Team India led by Virat Kohli to their second T20 world championship.
It’s interesting to note that Gambhir has no formal coaching expertise in cricket competition. The Indian Premier League (IPL) teams Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are coached by the former batter for India. In Gambhir’s final season with the team, the Shreyas Iyer-led KKR team won their third IPL championship this year. Following KKR’s historic trophy victory under Gambhir’s leadership, the renowned cricket player emerged as the clear favorite to succeed Dravid as India’s next head coach.
