Gautam Gambhir’s coaching tenure may be under scrutiny in Test cricket, but his success in white-ball cricket cannot be overlooked. With victories in the 2025 Champions Trophy and Asia Cup, Gambhir has instilled a more aggressive limited-overs approach in India’s game. Ravichandran Ashwin praised Gambhir’s impact on India’s T20 team, highlighting the shift in mindset and the emergence of talented players like Abhishek Sharma from the IPL. Ashwin also emphasized the importance of playing fearlessly and balancing chaos with control in modern T20 cricket. Despite criticism in red-ball cricket, Gambhir’s coaching has already made a significant mark in white-ball cricket, with a strong T20 team featuring key players like Bumrah and Surya. Ashwin’s endorsement of Gambhir’s coaching highlights the successful transformation of India’s white-ball cricket under his guidance.
