Shreyas Iyer's T20I appointment signals India's move away from the all-format captaincy model that shaped the Dhoni, Kohli, and Rohit eras, towards a more format-specific leadership
Gambhir said teams should have every opportunity to complete matches rather than see valuable playing time lost to bad light
Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Varma have emerged as leading contenders to take over if India opt for a leadership change
Sanju Samson possesses the firepower to take the game away from the opposition in the Powerplay itself when at his explosive best, said India head coach Gautam Gambhir.
India became the first team to win three T20 World Cups (2007, 2024, 2026), the first to defend their title and also the first to do so at home.
Dhoni returned on social media after nearly two years and he took the opportunity to tell head coach Gautam Gambhir how good a smile looks on his intense face.
Former India opener Gambhir credited Dravid and Laxman for their work at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) in nurturing the next generation of cricketers.
Gambhir asserted that till he is the coach, every contribution will get an honourable mention
Gambhir pointed out that with bowlers like Arshdeep Singh, Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy expected to complete their full quota of overs, the team had the flexibility to deploy Bumrah strategically
The India coach also pointed out that playing conditions during the tournament were different from what teams often experience in bilateral contests
Gambhir explained that while Suryakumar's batting exploits often attract attention, it is his leadership style that stands out the most
Drawing from his own experience as captain, Kapil underlined the importance of standing by players when results are not going their way
Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers responded to Gambhir's statement on his YouTube channel.
In a heated press conference on Saturday, Gambhir didn't hold back, addressing the widespread media speculation about his coaching abilities following the Test series loss.
Today's columnists write about long-term oil forecasts and wartime 'jugaad' to India's cricket woes, the AI investment frenzy and a new documentary probing US secrecy on non-human intelligence
Gambhir said in indirect terms that he would not single out any player, noting that collapses such as slipping from 95/1 to 122/7 were unacceptable at the highest level
After the visitors dominated the opening three days, following their win in the first Test at Kolkata, Srikkanth voiced his concerns during his YouTube show Cheeky Cheeka.
Gautam Gambhir reiterated his philosophy of handing out tough assignments to individuals to understand the depth of their character.
Under Suryakumar's leadership, India clinched the Asia Cup title last month in the UAE, but the skipper's personal returns with the bat were far from impressive
Rohit, despite losing his wicket cheaply, is looking very relaxed and cheering the dressing room with his usual antics in the dressing room
