As long as he delivers for the team, rest doesnt matter.Please check the definition of small man syndrome.
A coach need not be a superstar cricketer. It was proved earlier. The fielding coach Dilip never represented at higher level teams but brought a definite improvement in fielding. He has introduced the best fielder award with in the team and there were some super catches in last T20 WC one from Axar and other from Surya. Hope GG retains himB Arun, Paras Mhambrey were the previous bowling coaches and did well.
Please check the definition of small man syndrome. For example:
“Small man syndrome, also known as the Napoleon complex, is a social stereotype that suggests men of short stature may feel inadequate and compensate for their height with aggressive or domineering behavior”
On a serious note this is a make or break appointment by BCCI...Exposing Gambhir - The so called coach :
- Gautam Gambhir wanted Suryakumar Yadav to play tests.
- Gautam Gambhir wanted to play Suryakumar Yadav at 4 ahead of Shreyas Iyer in ODI WC.
- Gautam Gambhir wanted Ishan Kishan to play as WK ahead of KL Rahul in ODI WC.
- Gautam Gambhir said, Virat plays for milestones and Rohit plays for team during ODI WC.
- Gautam Gambhir wanted Sky to bat at 3 and Virat at 4 during WC 2022.
- Gautam Gambhir wanted Cheteshwar Pujara as no.4 batter of India at WC 2019.
- Gautam Gambhir wanted Pat Cummins to be excluded from world cup squad because he thought that Pat Cummins isn't a ODI player. Later Pat won world cup.
- Leave these aside, he even wanted Ashwin to bat at 4 in 2019 world cup.
Indian fans are emotional fools. They want Gambhir just because his team won IPL trophy even though Gambhir wasn't even the coach of KKR. 90% of people who wants GG as coach don't even know that Chandrakant Pandit is the head coach KKR.
I have better things to pray for than this.That is what you all will pray. It doesn't matter even if he has differences with the player but the out come will not change unlike some teams.
Please check the definition of small man syndrome.
How about his experience as a BJP politician?He doesn't have international coaching or captaincy experience.
But everyone at KKR and LSG talk about his eye for talent and tactical acumen
Selectors won't get to shoo in their lobby selections.
Let's see what are his choices for other coaching staff.
This will be a very interesting one.
2007 final was just him in batting and a small cameo by Rohit.He played a huge role in both 2007 and 2011. Those world cups wouldnt have been won without him.
But people always remember finishers more so that last over in 2007 and then Dhoni's knock and perfect final shot got memorialised in history.
Gambhir has always been bitter about that. He just refuses to let it go.
I am just thinking about Virat Kohli, how he will play under Gautam GambhirI don’t doubt Gambhir’s strategic outlook, but his obstinate nature worries me. I don’t know whether he will be a good man manager at the national level managing players like Hardik, Gill etc or will he be another Greg Chappell in the making.
Look, Gautam Gambhir cant do anything to Virat Kohli and Rohit till CT anyways - so all depends on how they perform in CT.I am just thinking about Virat Kohli, how he will play under Gautam Gambhir
You people were also propagating that Rohit would kick out Hardik or that Hardik would underperform. But neither of those things occurred. Now, we have Babar fanboys crying about Shaheen "betraying" Babar and suggesting that he should take a cue from Hardik's example. So there is no need to be concerned about our team.I am just thinking about Virat Kohli, how he will play under Gautam Gambhir
It's an interesting opponent. We've tended to prefer more handsoff coaches over the last few years. Let the captain have the power and final deciding authority. Can't deny it's worked...we've been consistently excellent in all formats.I don’t doubt Gambhir’s strategic outlook, but his obstinate nature worries me. I don’t know whether he will be a good man manager at the national level managing players like Hardik, Gill etc or will he be another Greg Chappell in the making.
So, he is bringing the entire KKR setup into the national side. Soon, both Iyers will also be back in the team.As per reports, Gautam Gambhir is pushing for the inclusion of former Dutch cricketer Ryan ten Doeschate into the team's coaching staff. Ryan ten Doeschate recently collaborated with Gambhir at the Kolkata Knight Riders, where he contributed as the team's fielding coach during their victorious 2024 campaign. Beyond his role with KKR, Ten Doeschate holds multiple positions within the franchise's subsidiaries, including in the Caribbean Premier League, Major League Cricket, and ILT20.
I don't think shreyas can get in the side.venky iyer can come competition at 7 all rounder spot.shreyas with his atrocious 120 sr is a crime to let him inside the teamSo, he is bringing the entire KKR setup into the national side. Soon, both Iyers will also be back in the team.
If KL is captain even after his World Cup performance then anybody can get inside , Removing KL has brought has our 1st world cup, biggest in the Cricket team ,totally destroyed all momentum in final 66 ( 102) , will never forget that idiot.I don't think shreyas can get in the side.venky iyer can come competition at 7 all rounder spot.shreyas with his atrocious 120 sr is a crime to let him inside the team
He wont as their coach too last season.Gambhir was successful as the KKR captain (won IPL twice). He seems to be good with leadership.
Iam also surprised how much shameless bcci selection committee became. I guess kl father in law is pulling the strings.kl don't have any brains to deal with tough situations. I guess they are settling him up for next captaincy role which will be ridiculous joke on fansIf KL is captain even after his World Cup performance then anybody can get inside , Removing KL has brought has our 1st world cup, biggest in the Cricket team ,totally destroyed all momentum in final 66 ( 102) , will never forget that idiot.
Not that getting captaincy to take a team to the Sri Lanka for a few useless ODIs means anything...especially with Rohit waiting in the wings to take the captaincy back when the games get serious but it would be really annoying to see Rahul get the captaincy. He's been out of form for a while. Unfortunately, there's no clear candidate though.If KL is captain even after his World Cup performance then anybody can get inside , Removing KL has brought has our 1st world cup, biggest in the Cricket team ,totally destroyed all momentum in final 66 ( 102) , will never forget that idiot.
I agree. Also while GG has a good track in white ball format, don’t know anything about his red ball coaching & I feel that’s a big gamble by BCCI. I would especially want Gambhir and the new captains to work on bringing in a newer crop of fast bowlers, like Kohli/ Shastri did - especially in red ball cricket. We can’t solely rely on Bumrah - Shami is getting old & Siraj is hit or miss. While Arshdeep is a good death specialist in white ball, I am not too sure of his bowling skills upfront or in red ball cricket. We definitely need more options there.It's an interesting opponent. We've tended to prefer more handsoff coaches over the last few years. Let the captain have the power and final deciding authority. Can't deny it's worked...we've been consistently excellent in all formats.
Gambhir's going to be different. He does have a more aggressive approach. Maybe the time's come though. If the future leaders of the team are the likes Hardik, Bumrah, Surya, a strong authority figure may just be what the doctor ordered.
One thing I do hope for though is that Gambhir doesn't just work with his own favourites. It behooves India as the biggest money board and really the home of cricket today to be the innovators. I always want an India head coach but I'd like to see a few foreigners in the coaching staff. Maybe fitness experts, maybe body bio-mechanics guys from baseball, mental conditioning guys etc.
Equal force against who? ourselves?BCCI is playing with fire by appointing Gauti Gambhir.
PCB should retaliate with equal force and quickly deploy the famous Shahid Afridi to counter this heinous BCCI move.
I will say pak players turned in to coaches are equally bad apart from akram.waqar did nothing to ishant after working with him for years where as Gillespie made a very good bowler out of ishant in a seasonMarkel not that great coach Pakistan bowl poorly when he was the bowling coach
Not sure I like this start by GambhirGautam Gambhir Makes Selection Criteria Clear Right After Replacing Rahul Dravid As Head Coach
India's newly appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir said that his approach to picking players won't be based on a particular format as he feels players who are "good enough" should play all three formats. Earlier this week, a new era in Indian cricket began after Gambhir succeeded Rahul Dravid as the new head coach. Apart from Dravid's departure, the stalwart trio Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja announced their retirements from the T20I format. An action-packed schedule lies ahead of Gambhir and the Indian team. There have been speculations about the pool of players who could play under the new regime.
But Gambhir has made his selection process clear by stating his strong belief in players featuring across all three formats.
"I'm a very strong believer in one thing, that if you're good, you should be playing all the three formats. I've never been a big believer in injury management, you get injured, you go get recovered. As simple as it gets. When you're playing international cricket and you're good enough, you ask any of the top players, if they want to play all the three formats. They don't want to stay, and they don't want to be labelled as red-ball bowlers or white-ball bowlers. Injuries are part of sportsman's life," Gambhir told Star Sports.
"If you're playing all the three formats, you get injured, you go back, get recovered, but you should be playing all the three formats. I am not a big believer in identifying people that, we're going to keep him for test matches or other formats. We're going to manage his injury and workload and stuff. Professional cricketers, you've got a very small span when you're playing for your country, and you want to play as much as you can. And when you're in very good form, go ahead and play all the three formats," he added.
Gambhir, during his playing days, was known for his aggressive style of play. He carried his aggression when he stepped into the management role, where his aggression was on display during his time as a mentor with Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders.
While talking about his approach towards the game, there was only one message from Gambhir, play with honesty.
"There's only one message, that tries and plays with honesty. Try and be as honest as you can with your profession. Results will follow. When I picked up the bat, I never thought of the results. I never thought that I was going to score these many runs. I've always believed that I have to be as honest as I can to my profession. Live on certain principles, live on certain values. Try and do the right things. Try and do things even if you think the whole world is against you. But your heart believes that you're doing the right thing for the best interest of the team," Gambhir said.
"Whether I've been aggressive on the cricket field, whether I've had confrontations with people, just because it was all in the best interest of the team. Try and do that because, ultimately, it's the team that matters, not the individual. So, go out there and only think of one thing, that try and make your team win. Whichever team you play for, because that is what team sports demands. It is not an individual sport where you think about your own self. It is a team sport, where it is the team that comes first. You're probably the last one that comes in the entire line-up," Gambhir added.
The former southpaw batter played a starring role in India's title triumphs in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2007 and the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2011.
He also captained Kolkata Knight Riders to IPL title victories in 2012 and 2014 and later mentored the team to another title win in 2024.
His first assignment as the head coach of the Indian team will begin with the Men in Blue's upcoming tour of Sri Lanka, which will kick off on July 26.

To be fair, I don't think he means (or atleast I hope he doesn't) that everyone should play every format. That would be stupid and Gambhir's not stupid. I think he only means that everyone should make themselves available for every format. Then it's up to the selectors and team management to choose whether they're in the team to play or not. I think he's only against stuff like big name players making themselves unavailable for low profile series and formats. Even there though, I feel he's misguided in his zeal for players to give their all.He can't put all cases in one scenario .Kl can't play t20s , rinku can't play test matches. We have seen that issue with sky already.hope common sense prevails.

let's wait and seeHe doesnt believe in managing injuries...lol.. He wants players to play every game and get injured and then go back and recover. This guy is going to be a huge problem...lol
How long will Bumrah last under Gambhir?
Those statements are ridiculous and beyond nonsense.Gautam Gambhir said that his approach to picking players won't be based on a particular format as he feels players who are "good enough" should play all three formats.

Vinay Kumar might not have had the ability most times, but he always had the brain & plan. That's what is needed for coaching... Do you think a coach has to first give a rehearsal (bowl a ball) and the player watches & learns/copies from that? Coaching is a different skill... Even Wasim Akram (at his current age OR even after his immediate retirement) wouldn't be able to give a proper bowling rehearsal for a player to watch and learn! He can just observe the players & give his thoughts & inputs...Abhishek Nayar as batting coach & Vinay Kumar as bowling coach for Indian team has been asked by Gautam Gambhir
Vinay Kumar?? Seriously .
That might happen he already start to talk nonsenseBCCi might terminate his contract in advance
You're absolutely right. I'm not commenting on whether Vinay Kumar is a good bowling coach but it's a common mistake of fans to think great bowlers or batters make great coaches. They often don't.Vinay Kumar might not have had the ability most times, but he always had the brain & plan. That's what is needed for coaching... Do you think a coach has to first give a rehearsal (bowl a ball) and the player watches & learns/copies from that? Coaching is a different skill... Even Wasim Akram (at his current age OR even after his immediate retirement) wouldn't be able to give a proper bowling rehearsal for a player to watch and learn! He can just observe the players & give his thoughts & inputs...
Gambhir might have seen something in Vinay Kumar (his coaching stints in IPL or at other domestic level) and opted for him... We have to give it to them, let them do their job... Another angle to look at is - these kind of persons would be knowing what's "lacking" to reach the "top level" (reverse analogy) so they maybe able to convey the exact things to the players (the best budding players) and help them reach that level (if that player has that ability to reach). For instance Vinay Kumar can show a footage of Prime Dale Steyn to Mohammed Siraj and explain him some key points... I am sure he would be good enough for that... Also players need "coach" because they need someone who looks beyond the game, beyond their scope & collect inputs... Coach who is not actively involved in the game can look at the areas with free head! A player has to focus just on his role in the team... So it is not that a coach has to be superior player to the ones in the current team to make an impact!
Is he aware that Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razak are currently unemployed?Gambhir wants Abhishek Nayar.
Gambhir wants Morne Morkel.
Gambhir wants Ten Doeschate.
Gambhir wants Jonty Rhodes.
Who else he wants?
Yeah disaster already, this will end like Kumble or worse CHAPPEL?
They will back as fast bowling and powerhitting coach for PCTIs he aware that Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razak are currently unemployed?
As per reports:As per reports:
Morne Morkel, former South African pacer, is being considered for the position of India's bowling coach. Newly appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir has recommended Morkel to the BCCI, given their positive working relationship at Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL.
Morkel has extensive coaching experience, including a stint with Pakistan during the 2023 ODI World Cup. While other candidates like Lakshmipathy Balaji, Vinay Kumar, and Zaheer Khan are also in contention, Morkel's modern approach to the game makes him a strong candidate. However, his family commitments in Australia might be a factor to consider.
The BCCI is expected to make a decision soon, with Morkel potentially replacing Paras Mhambrey if selected. Gambhir has also recommended Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate for coaching roles, while the board is considering retaining fielding coach T Dilip from the previous coaching setup.
He might have read the GG was a BJP MPWhy is Pakistan former cricketer embarassing ourself .
Why he is think gambhir is a parchi .
Nah he know very well gauti. Once in a live debate gambhir shut tanveer mouthHe might have read the GG was a BJP MP
Tanvir is a troll who fishes for views and clicks.Why is Pakistan former cricketer embarassing ourself .

Tanveer should be thankful to GG for giving him more reach. A lot of people including me got to know about him only after that debate with Gambhir. LolWhy is Pakistan former cricketer embarassing ourself .
Why he is think gambhir is a parchi .
That was pure gold.Nah he know very well gauti. Once in a live debate gambhir shut tanveer mouth
Tanveer is right. Gambhir’s honeymoon period will be over soon.Why is Pakistan former cricketer embarassing ourself .
Why he is think gambhir is a parchi .
This is your wish more than anything else.Tanveer is right. Gambhir’s honeymoon period will be over soon.
I sense that this Gambhir stint will be a disaster for India and will end in tears. Coaching a national team and getting the star players united throughout the entire year is totally different to coaching in IPL for 4 weeks.
Laxman was the natural successor to Dravid, and deep down you know that very well.This is your wish more than anything else.
He is not came as an parchi rather than on merit .
I am surprised that people are not ready to accept Gautam Gambhir as a 'parchi'. It is clear as water that he was not experienced enough to get this job.This is your wish more than anything else.

Ravi Shastri didn’t have any experience too by the way. He retired in his early 30s and since then he was commentating. One day suddenly was appointed team manager/coach and he handled it like a champ despite all the criticism.I am surprised that people are not ready to accept Gautam Gambhir as a 'parchi'.

The likes of Shastri & Kirsten get too much credit. India had champion players and champion captains in Ganguly & Dhoni who were the real heros.Ravi Shastri didn’t have any experience too by the way. He retired in his early 30s and since then he was commentating. One day suddenly was appointed team manager/coach and he handled it like a champ despite all the criticism.
Parchi and recommendation are 2 different things. Parchi would be some incompetent guy given the job with 0 credentials: reference/recommendation in this case is people saw Gambhir’s performance as captain in both domestics, international (whenever he got the chance), IPL and later as a mentor/ coach also in IPL which I agree is a fair point not the best benchmark. Thats the difference. He was hired on potential based on some track record.
Shastri and Kirsten were excellent man managers and kept the team harmony. Thats 90% of an international coach’s job.The likes of Shastri & Kirsten get too much credit. India had champion players and champion captains in Ganguly & Dhoni who were the real heros.

Laxman is not suited becouse he will bring buvi backLaxman was the natural successor to Dravid, and deep down you know that very well.
