In a big change for Indian cricket, Gautam Gambhir has been named the new head coach of the Indian cricket team, taking over from Rahul Dravid. This decision has been praised by former South African bowler Dale Steyn and ex-all-rounder Jacques Kallis, who both highlighted Gambhir’s aggressive playing style and smart cricket mind as big positives for the team.
Dale Steyn, known for his fast bowling, expressed his admiration for Gambhir’s strong approach during matches. “I’m a big fan of Gautam Gambhir. I love his aggression,” Steyn said in an interview with Star Sports. “He’s going to bring that energy to the dressing room with players like Virat Kohli and other senior players,” he added, noting how Gambhir could bring new energy to the team.
Steyn also mentioned the need for more competitiveness in international cricket. “Not just in India, but in world cricket, we need players who are a bit more aggressive and play harder,” Steyn said, highlighting Gambhir’s role in creating a tougher team.
Jacques Kallis shared similar thoughts, praising Gambhir’s cricket knowledge and expecting him to add something new to India’s coaching team. “He’s got a really good cricket brain. He’ll bring some fire and loves playing the game aggressively,” Kallis said, confident that Gambhir’s experience will improve the team’s strategy.
Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi also commented on Gambhir’s new role, stressing the importance of this opportunity. “I think it’s a big opportunity, and we need to see how he makes the most of it,” Afridi said, recognizing Gambhir’s positive attitude and straightforward approach.
Gambhir will start his new job right away, joining the Indian team for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour. India will play three T20 matches and three ODIs against Sri Lanka, starting on July 27. This tour will be Gambhir’s first official task as head coach, where his strategies and leadership will be closely watched by fans and critics.
As Indian cricket begins a new chapter with Gambhir in charge, there is a lot of excitement about the impact he will have on the team’s performance and spirit both on and off the field.
