"Parchi": Ex-Pakistan Star's Explosive Allegation On Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir was appointed Indian cricket team head coach after Rahul Dravid's tenure ended following the T20 World Cup 2024 triumph. It was a fresh chapter for the team as the trio of Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Rohit Sharma also announced their retirement from T20Is. While the names of WV Raman and National Cricket Academy (NCA) chief VVS Laxman did make the rounds, Gambhir ultimately emerged as the top contender. While the move was welcomed by the majority of experts and fans, former Pakistan cricketer Tanveer Ahmed believes that Gambhir did not deserve the role.

"Rahul Dravid Screamed And Cried": R Ashwin Reveals Unheard T20 World Cup Final Story

Indian spin veteran Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that he really felt the moment when former Indian head coach Rahul Dravid hugged the ICC T20 World Cup and cried after leading Men in Blue to their first big trophy in 11 years in his final assignment as a coach. Dravid's stint with India as head coach ended as he lifted the T20 World Cup after beating South Africa in the final by seven runs on June 29. The legendary cricketer, who could not win a major ICC World Cup trophy as a player and captain, finally got his moment of redemption as his final international assignment with India as a coach turned out to be a massive success. Later in July, former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir was announced as his successor, ready to start his era in the white-ball tour to Sri Lanka from July 27 onwards.
