Gautam Gambhir to enjoy ‘rare’ power after exiting Virat Kohli. The report states “he was a category …”

Greg Chappell’s collapse was fantastic when he tried to impose his authority, while Anil Kumble Alpha could not deal with the male stardom, but it seems that Gautam Gambhir is definitely to become the head coach of the rare India that would gain more power than the skipper. Indian cricket is full of examples where powerful managers had to return to the player-power. Despite Bishan Singh Bedi, Chappell and Kumbal Champion players, he himself did not realize that he had to play another Bella. John Wright, Gary Kirsten and Ravi Shastri knew that he was very successful.

With the retirement of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin, there are no many megastars left in the test team and it gives serious time and location to maneuver and to transfer their strategic pieces to the cricketing chess board.

If sources in BCCI are to be believed, Gambhir’s bucket-list had objective objectives and the biggest star culture in the team was the abolition of culture.

A BCCI source said on the condition of anonymity to PTI, “Gautam serious era begins now. It was categorized that during the next WTC cycle, India needs to be new faces.”

He said, “Everyone associated with decision making knew where the serious seniors stood in the longest format. Obviously, the selectors’ and Chairman Ajit Agkar’s views were aligned,” he said.

In Indian cricket, the captain has always been the central figure that will be strong on coaches, even they were equally powerful personality.

Sourav Ganguly, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Kohli and Rohit Sharma all said in the national teams that they had led.

But now not with Gambhir, who is now undoubtedly the most powerful person in which the last word is resting with him.

Rahul Dravid-Rohit Sharma combination had made a brief but an eventful journey unlike Rohit Sharma-Gumbir, which never looked like a happy marriage.

Although along with Kohli, Gambhir signed the Truses with acting mediator of powerful people.

This is the first time a coach has found its way in terms of being quickly phased by mega stars.

But then Shakti is a double -edged sword.

It is understood that in the phase of Indian cricket transition, the BCCI wanted to make it suitable to strengthen it so that the defeat like the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the New Zealand range at home would no longer be repeated.

In Shubman Gill, he will have a young captain who will listen to him, at least until he gets his foot.

Gill is a superstar in making, but still has not reached the level where he can question Gambhir’s decisions and strategies.

The only person who could have an independent voice is Jasprit Bumrah, but his leadership ambitions have been neutralized by his doddy fitness.

Therefore, Gambhir will have unfit power, such as it is in the T20 set-up. The only set up where he will still need to run carefully is the ODI match where Kohli and Rohit are still monitoring to compete until the 2027 ODI World Cup.
