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.
Gambhir, when asked about his chances of succeeding Dravid for the top post, chose to remain noncommittal, adding to the mystery surrounding the potential coaching change.
Due to the countrywide lockdown, all top cricketers are confined to their homes and are just doing some exercises to keep themselves fit.
Latif also shared his experience of playing against Tendulkar during the high-voltage India-Pakistan matches in the past.
Rahul's debut, however, didn't go as per plan as he was dismissed for paltry scores of 3 and 1 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Former Pakistan captain has now said that Sehwag always remained under the shadows of great players like Tendulkar and Dravid and never really got to be on his own.
In 90 ODIs, Ajinkya Rahane scored 2,962 runs at an average of 35 which fetched him three centuries. His T20I numbers include 375 runs with one half-century.
