When you think Gautam Gambhir as a coach, it’s easy to imagine an intense, intimidating character with a obsessed victory. During his game career, there was no one to retreat from the fight. Just ask for the virat kohli and Shahid Afridi.
But behind the strict exterior, there is something much more valuable: the ability to instill confidence in their players when they need it most. Gambhir has shown again and again that he is willing to support his crickets, even if they doubt themselves.
For the 23 -year -old Harshit Ran, Gambhir’s arrival at Kalcata Knight Riders in 2024 in turn. At the end of the season, Rana enjoyed my best IPL campaign, took 19 goals and helped Krk to their third title.
“He told me before the season,” You will play all 14 games, no matter how many runs you admit. Even if you hit you 70 or 80, keep your head up and stay aggressive, “said Espncricinfo,” that was the moment my trust fired. I was able to express myself without fear. “
It was A similar story for Sanja Samsonwho remembered how Gambir’s faith lifted him at a low point. Before connecting Gambhira Samson, he tolerated the barren charm marked by inconsistency with the bat and the uncertainty around his India. This changed when he was credible to open the bats on the T20i side.
“Gauti Bhai noticed that I feel after missing chances,” Samson told Ravichandran Ashwin on his podcast. “I said I went wrong, and he just said,” So what? Only when you get 21 ducks, I drop you. “These words hit differently.
For Varun Chakravarthy whose career has stopped After the World Cup 2021 T20, Gambhir’s support was equally essential.
“He told me,” No matter who ignores you, I will keep you in my plans. “That gave me a huge confidence,” Spinner told RevSportz. “It brings war thinking to the dressing room – something that worked in a KKR and even during the Champions trophies.”
The common thread in these stories is Gambhir’s unwavering faith. Not only does he pass on opportunities to players; It gives them space to fail without being afraid of elimination. For a generation that competes under intensive control, this trust is transformation.
Perhaps this is why Gambhir, so often depicted as a hard-played, appears as one of the most common positions of the Indian cricket-inn, which supports you, even if you stop supporting.
