Former India coach and noted commentator Ravi Shastri believes Gautam Gambhir can make an immediate impact in his new role as head coach because he’s a “contemporary” mentor and already close to the team.
“Why Surya was made the captain, because he is one of the deserving candidates. He’s been around the group over the last year, we get feedback from the dressing room a lot. (He has a) good cricket brain, and (is) one of the best T20 batters in the world,” Agarkar said.
The T20 World Cup-winning Indian cricket team landed in Delhi on Thursday morning after winning the World Cup title in Barbados.

Ganguly added that he could still score runs for India if he gets adequate time for practice and training.
Ajinkya Rahane has represented India in 90 ODIs in which he has amassed 2,962 runs at 35.26. During the 87 ODI innings he got a chance to bat.
Mahendra Singh has so far played 90 Tests, 350 ODIs and 98 T20Is for India, amassing over 17,000 international runs in a career spanning more than 15 years.
Following the win, Ganguly had waived his T-shirt at the Lord's balcony following -- an image which is still fresh in the mind of every cricket fan in the country.
