After KKR’s IPL 2024 Triumphph, Gautam Gambhir was head coach of India
Gautam Gambhir was head coach of India after playing a key role in the IPL 2024 victory for Kolkata Knight Riders under the captain of Shrayas Iyer.
The left-handed batsman began his tenure in a loss to Sri Lanka in the ODI series. India then suffered a Test defeat against New Zealand and Australia. However, the Indian team recorded victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
The Blue men showed the spirit of fighting in a five-match Test series against England. Schubman’s gill-rate side drew series 2-2 despite kicking out 1-2 after three tests.
Gambil hopes to lead the team to victory in the Asian Cup 2025. He will once again join Link Singh, a member of the Indian team in the tournament.
Rinku Singh’s performance in the franchise and T20I cricket
Rinku Singh had a groundbreaking season at IPL 2023 with 474 runs for the Kolkata Night Rider. Singh made his T20I debut against Ireland in 2023.
