The original India coach says Gambhir has the" resources, knowledge and products" for being the mind coach
Ravi Shastri believes having Gautam Gambhir as the new India head coach is "refreshing" because he is" contemporary," he has "fresh ideas," and he has the" tools" and "experience" for the job.
" He's modern, he only had a great time in the Cricket," Shastri said on Gambhir on the ICC Review. " I think he's the proper time where he's younger, he'll appear with new ideas. He knows most of the people, especially in the white-ball file, having been part of clubs in the IPL. So I think it's wonderful.
" And we know with Gautam, he's a no-nonsense person. He'll had his thoughts as well. And the good thing for him is he's got a sophisticated team. He's got a resolved team, a sophisticated team. Even though you might believe you are older, you might gain from some new ideas. So I think it'll become exciting days. "
After winning the T20 World Cup for India, Gambhir may take over from Rahul Dravid for the white-ball journey of Sri Lanka, which kicks off on Saturday in Pallekele.
Although he was credited with bringing the players together, making Sunil Narine opened again with the pitcher for a brilliant time, lifting the self-confidence of newcomer Harshit Rana, among other things, and winning the IPL with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR ), he now takes charge in all forms. He will also have to manage junior and senior people across platforms while working with the Indian team.
" Certainly, player control becomes the key as a coach," Shastri said. " So it'll be interesting to see how he goes. I think he's got the equipment, he's got the products for the work and he's got the practice. "
Shastri said Gambhir's "most significant work" will be to know his people in terms of the individual people and their "temperaments".
" It's a problem of really understanding his people as quickly as possible," Shastri said. What are their personalities, personalities, and dispositions, according to the experts. What are their characters. Behind the scenes, a person is understood a bit.
" I think that will be his most important work, which I think afterwards should not be a problem because he's fashionable. He's seen these guys from the outside, he's dealt with a lot of guys who might have played with KKR as well and for Lucknow [ Super Giants ] when he was there.
He has been a part of the circuit since he last played cricket, and he still does today. He also plays some of the legendary cricket. "
Gambhir's main tasks in testing will be the five home exams that may start in September ( two against Bangladesh and two against New Zealand ), followed by five testing in Australia to celebrate the Border Gavaskar Trophy. In white-ball forms, the ICC medals he may be eyeing are the Champions Trophy in 2025 and the T20 World Cup in 2026.
As Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja wo n't be around for T20Is anymore, Shastri said India need to get the "right mix" for that format.
He predicted that many of the T20 World Cup winners would still be active two years later. " You mentioned the three people who were retired, but barring them, I think most of the others may be also fit to be in that T20 World Cup team two decades down the line in India.
" So I do n't think there's much to be done there. In fact, you will get a problem on your fingers because you'll have to choose from the fresh bunch that's coming and there's some real exciting skills it.
" So I think it's the other way around. It's how do you find those people in there that they're bursting at the images to get it. There's a lane out there and that may be his biggest obstacle, but it's a great headache when you have that kind of skill. "
