Kapil Dev on Thursday said a modern-day head coach's role is more about "managing" players

Gautam Gambhir's tenure as Indian cricket team head coach since taking over in July 2024 has been a mixed bag

Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir came up with a stunning strategy that handed his side a massive advantage during the third T20I encounter against South Africa.

India batter Tilak Varma on Saturday underlined the team management's push for a flexible batting order, saying most players are ready to bat anywhere depending on match situations.

After convincingly winning the first T20I against South Africa by 101 runs, India were brought down to earth by the Proteas in the second T20I. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side failed to chase a 214-run target and lost by 51 runs

As Shubman Gill continues to struggle as an opener in T20Is, calls for Sanju Samson's reinstatement at the top are intensifying.

Coach Gautam Gambhir showed visible frustration in his post-match interactions after India's comprehensive defeat, highlighting the team's inconsistent performance and areas needing improvement.

Former players Robin Uthappa and Dale Steyn criticised Gambhir's decision to shuffle the batting order, calling it a major mistake that disrupted India's stability.

India head coach Gautam Gambhir was unhappy with his bowlers and he let his frustration known from the dugout during the 2nd T20I against South Africa in Mullanpur on Thursday.

India's left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh put up an embarrassing show when he came up to bowl the 11th over during South Africa's innings in the second T20I in Mullanpur.
