This CT is not as big a tournament compared to all the other tournaments, but an ICC tournament win is always a big and notable achievement.
However, those test losses at home and the BGT are the biggest losses under Ghambhir, and this tournament win can't fill that loss.

Gambhir has show inaptitude for the test game, even Start of T20 and ODI campaign under him was disastrous.
It is recovery but not sure how much positive impact he is having at all.

He got a lifeline in limited formats. Eng test series will be big test for his credentials. As rohit said he won't retire, it will be one big controversy especially in test matches.

 

[Shehmir]

His coaching career probably saved for a while due to CT25 victory

Indian team saving career of Gautam by getting beaten in bilaterals and then winning 2 iCC event back to back.

"Who Are These People...": Gautam Gambhir Rubbishes Rift Rumours With Rohit Sharma In Style

India men's cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir recently slammed the "experts" and some Youtubers for spreading fake news about his rift with skipper Rohit Sharma. Gambhir, who is mostly in the headlines for his serious and no-nonsense nature, coached the Indian team which lifted the Champions Trophy in March this year. However, some reports recently emerged which hinted that relations between Rohit and the team management have been strained ever-since India's defeat in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.

Speaking at the ABP India At 2047 Summit, Gambhir rubbished all the rumours and called the Youtubers hungry for TRP.

"First of all, tell me who are these people, who feel that, it is Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir. This is only on social media or someone who runs a YouTube channel, or who are experts, they have said these things for their YouTube channel and TRP," Gambhir said.

"Two months ago, we won the Champions Trophy, now imagine, if we had not won the Champions Trophy, then what questions you would have asked me, two months ago, a coach and a captain won the Champions Trophy together, and after that, you are asking me, that something is going on, between me and Rohit Sharma," he added.

The Indian head coach further stated that his relations with Rohit are about the mutual respect for each other and their love for Indian cricket.

"I respect the human being, I respect the person he is, I respect what he has done, for Indian cricket, I will always respect for what contribution he has made, and I have got a lot of time for someone like Rohit Sharma and he is not like that now, from the beginning, when he came to the team from then and in future and it will be like this only," said Gambhir.

"To get TRP, or to run YouTube channels, if you ask these questions, so I think, they need to do their homework, to get little better," he added.

After the conclusion of the ongoing edition of the IPL, the Indian team will be touring England for a five-match Test series, which will kick-start from June 20.

Team India have won just 2 out of 11 Test matches under head coach Gautam Gambhir.

This England series is actually not a terrible series for him. India dominated and lost crucial moments. In Australia moment the washed up Rohit joined the team things went topsy turvy. Still moment of madness cost the series. But what cannot be forgiven is home series loss. I know India had some washed up seniors. Still India used to win there due to Jadeja and Ashwin mainly with their batting. Moment their batting didn't show up India surrendered meekly.

This long list of "L's" is hauting Gautam and co hard... Gautam is not having a good time in red ball cricket so far... Got whitewashed at home also under him.

May his reign continue, I hope india never sacks him

 

[Bhaijaan]

God, end this trauma please.

I mean its a shocker he is not playing kuldeep despite knowing english team struggle vs wrist spin how can you not play kuldeep is beyond me huge blunder by this dumb coach.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

He has had some weird selections.

But on a side note you are a spin bowling fanatic I love how you champion spinners no matter the side.

Yes always loved spinners bro no matter what just love their variety.

 

[sweep_shot]

He is benching Kuldeep. Their main spinner.

Definitely a blunder.

 

[pillionrider]

He does strike serious poses in the balcony though. Not completely useless.

 

[Savak]

There are serious man management issues with the guy

Everyone remembers how he was fighting with everyone left right and centre as a player

He forced the likes of Ashwin, Rohit, Kohli out and in turn selected a 33 year old Karun Nair to replace a 36 year old Kohli

 

[pillionrider]

Have there been worse selections and decisions than under this guy. In recent times

Why is kuldeep not played any tests in england knowing english team struggle vs wrist spin is gambir really dumb?

 

[pillionrider]

If Gill was dumb enough not to try Sundar earlier, what was this clown doing there waiting for the 70th over for him to get a bowl. Gambhir will unfortunately hold his place due to politics. And don't even come at me about my political biases influencing my views on Gambhir because I have plenty of posts during his tenure as a BJP MP where I've defended his quality as a batsman or some of his views. He is a useless coach. That's it. No need to defend him.

 

[pillionrider]

Why is kuldeep not played any tests in england knowing english team struggle vs wrist spin is gambir really dumb?

It's not just Kuldeep, Arshdeep has way more character than the likes of Prasiddh and this Kamboj guy.

Please keep him as a coach forever.

Seems like BCCI just hired KKR coaching staff from 1-2 years back.
Why would they hire Morne Morkel as a bowling coach? Even when he was coaching Pak, he showed zero care for getting the team to do well. In this test series, India knew well Bumrah would be sitting out of 1 or 2 tests. I doubt Bumrah's success can be credited to the current coaching team.

Coach will get all his preferred choices known from past. Kirsten ,Dravid, Shastri etc everyone got their trusted lieutenants.
