Gautam Gambhir: Bumrah Best Bowler, India to Play Like Champions Against Bangladesh

Gautam Gambhir, the newly appointed head coach of the Indian cricket team, addressed the media in a press conference ahead of the first Test match against Bangladesh. The press conference provided insights into Gambhir's coaching philosophy, the team's preparations, and his relationship with captain Rohit Sharma.

Gambhir emphasized the importance of bowlers in the modern game, stating that Jasprit Bumrah is the best fast bowler in the world. He credited Bumrah, along with Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, and Ravindra Jadeja, for transforming India into a "bowlers' game."

The head coach also expressed his respect for Bangladesh but asserted that India will approach the series with the mindset of a champion side. He believes that the team's best style is the one that wins.

Gambhir's first Test series as head coach will be a significant milestone in his career. He previously led the team in T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka.

During the press conference, Gambhir and former India captain Virat Kohli discussed their on-field altercations in the past. Gambhir jokingly deflected Kohli's question about how altercations affect his performance, saying that Kohli has had more altercations than him.

Kohli and Gambhir have put their past differences aside and are now working together to achieve success for the Indian team. They have "put an end to all the masala" surrounding their rumored rift.

Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain, acknowledged that Gambhir's coaching style is different from his predecessor, Rahul Dravid. However, he emphasized that he has a good understanding with Gambhir and that the new coaching staff brings a different perspective.
