‘How you want to conduct yourself as a senior player’: Gambhir’s chat with Pant

Published by Webster

2 min readJun 4, 2026 07:08 PM IST India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate said that Rishabh Pant and Gautam Gambhir had a chat ahead of India’s one-off Test against Afghanistan, slated to start in Mullanpur on Saturday. Pant hasn’t been in the best of forms lately with the wicket-keeper batter’s manner of dismissals in the Test series against South Africa last year coming under scrutiny. “I think he’s committed to playing a good role model and senior player. I actually heard him and Gauti (Gambhir’s nickname) having a chat around that yesterday. ‘How you want to conduct yourself as a senior player’, expanding to the communications or so, how you’re going to play,” Ten Doeschate said when asked how Pant was adjusting to the recent changes, including his removal from vice-captaincy. “I don’t think he needs a formal title to be a leader in an elite setup like this, and I think Rishabh understands that,” he added. The former Dutch player also said that India do not want Pant to curb his brilliance but …

Mark Butcher slams Pak’s obsession, hails Gambhir’s India after T20 World Cup win

3 min readUpdated: Mar 10, 2026 05:59 PM IST Former England cricketer Mark Butcher praised India after their T20 World Cup 2026 triumph while also criticising Pakistan for being stuck in an obsession with personal milestones over team gains. Butcher said other teams could learn from India’s move away from relying on “individual superstars” for success. “There’s quite a stark contrast there in the way that their neighbours from the north (west) in Pakistan are still stuck in the idea of personal milestones and individual superstars. Gautam Gambhir, who’s had his detractors over his time in charge, has basically walked away from that mantra and has built a team,” Butcher told Wisden. Indian coach Gautam Gambhir had also emphasised his views on getting the results and not running behind milestones. After India defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the T20 World Cup 2026 final in Ahmedabad on Sunday for their third T20 title, Gambhir said, “For too long in Indian cricket, we’ve spoken about milestones, and I hope, till I’m there, we’re not going …

After India’s series win against South Africa in the ODI series, Indian Head Coach Gautam Gambhir said that he thinks batting orders are overrated in the ODI format. “I think in a one-day format, you should know the template that you want to play with. I’ve always believed that in white-ball cricket, batting orders are very overrated, except the opening combination,” said Gambhir Reacting to his comments, former South African cricketer Ab de Villiers on his YouTube channel said: “I do agree with him to a certain extent. I’ve always enjoyed a floating batting lineup in ODIs. But it’s a fine line because you can’t really play around too much with the players’ roles. It’s the top three, four to six, and then your tailenders who can hold the bat. It’s almost like three segments, and you can really be creative with that. Play with right and left-hand combinations and certain situations of the game.” De Villiers also lauded the depth of the Indian side, as they have won 27 out of their last 31 …

After another press conference outburst where he slammed reporters and an IPL team owner post the ODI series win over South Africa, India head coach Gautam Gambhir has received some friendly advice from his old Delhi teammate, Aakash Chopra. The former India opener said that even though the India head coach has his heart in the right place, Gambhir’s fuming retorts in press conferences do not make for pleasant viewing. In a chat with reporters after India’s 2-1 ODI series win in Visakhapatnam, Gambhir hit back at his critics for the 0-2 Test debacle against the Proteas. “People said things that have nothing to do with cricket. An IPL team owner also wrote about split coaching. It’s important for people to stay in their domain. Because if we don’t go into someone’s domain, they also don’t have the right to come into our domain,” Gambhir said.

What can a coach do?: R Ashwin comes to Gautam Gambhir’s defence amid mounting criticism | Cricket News

Former off-spinner R Ashwin has defended under-fire India head coach Gautam Gambhir after the 0-2 home Test series loss to South Africa, saying it is not right to call for his sacking at a time when not enough responsibility has been shouldered by the players. India were outplayed in the series that concluded in Guwahati on Tuesday, going down by a record 408 runs in the second and final Test. A majority of the criticism has been directed towards Gambhir’s planning and push for all-rounders in the squad that has affected its balance. But Ashwin said the former opener, who has a contract till 2027, does not deserve to be removed. “Why are we doing this? It’s a sport. Managing a team cannot be that easy. And yes, he is hurting too. We must understand that. It might feel nice to get someone sacked, but that’s not how it should be,” Ashwin said in his Youtube show ‘Ash ki Baat’. “I’ve never been that kind of person. It’s not about supporting anyone, Gautam is not …

Gautam Gambhir’s contradictions: In press conference post South Africa series defeat in Guwahati, India head coach’s puzzling comments | Cricket News

He perhaps doesn’t have another tone to his voice when he speaks to the media, whether in victory or defeat, but it was the good old combative version of Gautam Gambhir that turned up to the press conference on Wednesday in Guwahati. What followed over the next 14 minutes was a case study in contradictions as he tried to make sense of – as Anil Kumble put it to the broadcasters – India’s meek surrender against South Africa to lose the series 0-2. “It lies with everyone in that dressing room and starts with me to everyone in that dressing room. I’ve said it before as well that we went together, we lose together. So I’m not going to be someone who’s going to say that it lies with x, y or z.” Cliched as it might be, that’s what most coaches would say when fronting up after a damaging defeat. But after starting the press conference with these lines, at various points he’d go on to make pointed remarks about the batting collapse in …
