Gautam Gambhir as Head Coach: A blazing statement has come out regarding Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir. The person who gave this statement is Munaf Patel, former Indian fast bowler and like Gambhir, a member of the 2011 ODI World Cup champion team. This legendary right-handed Indian bowler has praised Gautam Gambhir's coaching and his style. He said that Team India needs a head coach like Gambhir. He has taken care of Team India.

It will be difficult to handle Team India, if…

Munaf Patel has commented on Gautam Gambhir and his coaching in an interview given to 'Bombay Sports Exchange'. Munaf Patel said on the show that you should remember one thing, if a head coach like Gautam Gambhir steps down, it will be difficult to handle the players of Team India. When the interviewer wanted to know the reason for this, Munaf Patel said that the players are afraid of him. Everyone knows that if he does anything, he can drop him from the team. He has 100 percent control over the team. He is not a friend of the players but a coach.

How many people is Gambhir taking enmity with for the country?

Munaf Patel further said that Gautam Gambhir is a person who tells the truth. Not everyone likes it. When he was asked that there are superstars like Virat and Rohit in the team, will you be able to do coaching at this level? Munaf Patel said that even though he is a superstar, Gautam Gambhir is running the team well. Managing those big names is a big thing. Someone should show no to Virat and Rohit for one thing. Gambhir can do this. So think about how many people he is enmity with for the sake of the country and for the sake of coaching.

Gambhir's contract may extend till 2028
