Gambhir Challenge: How will you deal with Kohli and Rohit? Gambhir challenge in front of Gautam, will not be able to become the boss…


New Delhi. Gautam Gambhir has become the new coach of the Indian cricket team. he/she has the challenge of carrying forward the legacy of Rahul Dravid. Under the leadership of coach Dravid, India reached the finals of 3 ICC tournaments in two years and also won a trophy. It is a coincidence that there will be only 3 ICC events in the next two years. Now it remains to be seen how the Indian team performs during this period under the guidance of coach Gautam Gambhir.

A period of change in Team India
Rahul Dravid has set the standard for success as a coach by winning the World Cup. gautam gambhir If he/she is not able to get the ICC trophy for India, then he/she will not be counted among the successful coaches. Now the trophy has become the standard of success. But the team which is currently going through a phase of change comes in the way of this. Team India What will be Gambhir’s stance in this change, many things will be decided from here also.

The image is aggressive and the figures are excellent
Gautam Gambhir’s image has generally been that of an aggressive and possessive captain-coach. Gambhir was the top scorer in the T20 World Cup Final (2007) and the ODI World Cup Final (2011), which shows that he/she was a big match player. he/she has two IPL trophies to his/her name as a captain. he/she captained India in only a few matches, but the success rate was excellent. Gambhir has also made KKR the champion of IPL 2024 as a mentor.

Aggressive like a football coach
In Gautam Gambhir’s journey to success, everyone has seen that he/she takes most of the decisions of his/her team. As a captain, it is his/her right, but as a mentor-coach, he/she is also quite aggressive. In IPL, his/her reactions in the dugout are more like a football coach than a cricket coach. Many times it seemed that if he/she had his/her way, he/she would have come on the field and scolded the fielders.

Chappell did not accept star culture
If we look at the great coaches of Indian cricket team in the last 20 years, Gautam Gambhir seems to be of Greg Chappell’s style to some extent. Gambhir clearly says that in a team game, no player can be given importance beyond a limit. Whereas in India, it is not a big deal for a cricketer to become a superstar or a god. This is a tradition. Here cricketers have devotees as well as temples. In such a situation, Gambhir may have to change his/her approach a little. Chappell did not change his/her Australian approach. he/she completely rejected star culture. As a result, during Chappell’s time, Team India was divided into two factions. The worst performance in the Cricket World Cup also came during Chappell’s tenure.

Can’t be the boss when Rohit and Kohli are around
It is certain that with Rohit Sharma as the captain and King Virat Kohli as the captain, Gautam Gambhir will not be able to become the kind of boss he/she has been in IPL teams. They say that there is only one boss. Boss culture in Indian cricket started during the era of Sourav Ganguly, which continues even today. Here the captain has the superpower or veto power. The captain not only wants the team of his/her choice, but many times the coach is also of his/her choice. Cricket lovers would not have forgotten when despite the recommendation of the Cricket Advisory Committee, Anil Kumble could not become the coach because the then captain Virat Kohli’s choice was Ravi Shastri. Later, Kohli’s choice Shastri became the coach.

Coaches are made till 2027
Coach Gautam Gambhir has become the coach of the Indian team till the ODI World Cup 2027. There is no doubt that he/she would have come up with his/her master plan. By the year 2027 Captain Rohit Sharma he/she must be 40 years old. Rohit has not made it clear whether he/she would like to play the 2027 World Cup or not. Anyway, there is still a lot of time for this. It is possible that Rohit will form his/her opinion on this after one and a half years. But Gautam does not have that much time. he/she will have to keep his/her plan B ready. If Rohit plays in the World Cup 2027, will he/she remain the captain or someone else? Although choosing the captain is the job of the selectors. But the entire jugalbandi of the coach is with the captain only. Any coach can make the team successful only by working together with the captain. In such a situation, Gautam will have to remember that he/she is in a supportive role, not a decisive one.

Kohli-Gambhir’s ‘love’ is well known
The discussion of Gautam Gambhir’s challenges cannot end without Virat Kohli. Cricket lovers have seen the ‘love’ of these two on the field. Everyone has seen how Gautam Gambhir loves an Afghan player (Naveen-ul-Haq) Virat Kohli Kohli had clashed with Rohit Sharma. It was Amit Mishra who intervened and handled the situation. Kohli is the biggest star of the current team. The most successful batsman. The fittest cricketer. he/she is also two years younger than Rohit. There may be doubts about Rohit playing in the 2027 World Cup, but such questions are rarely raised about Kohli.

Whether it is Gautam Gambhir or any other coach, he/she will definitely follow his/her own formula. But Gambhir has a formula of success which can reduce his/her challenges. This formula is of his/her senior Rahul Dravid, who mixes with the team as if he/she is their partner, an elder brother. Dravid puts the players forward on every success. When the team fails or loses, Dravid is seen in the press conference. Dravid becomes dear to every member of Team India with this style of his/her. Gautam Gambhir will also have to play the role of an elder brother in the team.
