Will Gambhir be the right pick as India coach? 

One man can't do everything unless he is completely backed by the board and selectors..Also the captain needs to resonate with him as well..

Gambhir ego is big problem

Bharat Arun is still the best bowling coach available in India. We were a strong bowling side under him. He should either be the bowling coach or work at the NCA with the young fast bowlers. We need to groom the likes of Mohsin Khan, Harshit Rana, Mayank Yadav, Vaibhav Arora, Kuldeep Sen and also work on Umran Malik and Prasidh Krishna..This should be the priority of the BCCI along with grooming fast bowling all-rounders for Test cricket..

where is the politics? Can you specify few decisions or team selection which got affected by politics? They played so so well in ODI world cup, won Asia cup very convincingly, entered finals of both WTCs. They are not able to win finals but politics is not a factor behind the losses in finals.

@@shubhamkumar-gx5vx winning in home is easy than winning abroad, the politics by picking up dube over Rinku, there are 35+ associations under BCCI, they are interested in their own benifits, this is politics

​@@shubhamkumar-gx5vxyou can see politics in on going wc .Jaiswal is legitimate opening batsman and fearless batter for T20 format version. Suddenly after landing in usa Rohit along with bcci masters drops him and make Virat as opening partner and to accommodate their picks in middle orders. Very open case.. Hope you agree on this. 👍

@@tseringangchok7540 your whole family was rigged

​@@hmmer3471 yeah bro politics made sure that fatty Sharma is leading India in a T20 WC after ghosting the team in every T20WC since 2016😋

Bowling coach is the most important role right now for Indian cricket since we are transitioning towards young pacers because Ishant and Umesh are gone and Shami is ageing and suffering from injuries..

kick virat everything is fine, he is an egositic maniac because of whom we lost 2017 and 2019, due to favouritism selection, reason he never won big when he is in charge, be it ipl or india

Yep alpha clash

The first step is seniors like Rohit, Virat, Jadeja voluntarily retiring from T20Is after this WC. Second is grooming young pacers under an apt bowling coach like Bharat Arun. Third is grooming a fast bowling all-rounder for Test cricket as well as white ball cricket.. The fourth is implementing the Australian way of playing cricket by having a strong plan against each and every player of the opposition team with data analytics. If these 4 steps are seriously taken, India will soon win an ICC trophy. God also makes those win who are brave and do the hard yards.

@AyushRaj-rt6bb Few senior players in Indian cricket retire voluntarily. Many times, they have to be forced to do so. Developing a group of talented express seamers would make sense only when the pitches are also made conducive - grass tops, supporting bounc & pace, lateral movement, etc. So far Indian cricket has been a batters only game playing on dead, flat, belter wickets most of the time. So whenever the batters play in testing conditions, e.g., Perth, Brisbane, Cape Town, Lord's, etc, they struggle. As long as the benchmark for performance is going to be runs scored statistically on flat dead IPL wickets, Indian batters are going to struggle in overseas conditions including ICC world cups held overseas esp AUS, SA, ENG. India needs more bowlers like Bumrah who are accurate, consistent, have variations and create match winning impacts. India also needs a seam bowling Captain who can additionally focus on developing quality seam bowlers. Some examples of such bowlers in past and present have been Wasim Akram, Trent Bolt, Glen McGrath, Malcolm Marshall, Richard Hadlee, Mitchel Starc, James Anderson, Jasorit Bumrah etc. That is the benchmark- the benchmark should NOT be Siraj, Hardik, Avesh, Khaleel type of bowlers. Each seam bowler should be a match winning wicket taking bowler and myst have ability to bowl optimally on variety of surfaces, conditions, against bedt batters in the world (not just limited to IPL).

@@sgtaneja I think domestic cricket should have a variety of pitches. Green tops, Bouncy and pacy ones, turning tracks and some batting tracks as well..There should be balance between bat and ball. Right now most pitches in domestic cricket are green tops with so much grass covering. The bowler has to do nothing but deliver the ball on right length and pitch will do the job. It seams too much and the ball keeps low most of the times. Such pitches promote mediocre medium pacers who bowl 120-130 and take a lot of wickets. Also such pitches dent the confidence of young batters who look to score runs. Such pitches are really degrading the quality of domestic cricket in India..

Being popular or less known doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the commitment and vision. GG has openly expressed his views about coaching the national side and he says it will be a matter of honour for him..

Why do you feel like that ? We can't decide the future of Indian cricket based on preconceived notions..

@@AyushRaj-rt6bb I hope I might be wrong but his action & behaviour might create problems in Team

@@anishs9699 I don't think so..

Stop defending players, team>>players, example australia is and will be best team beacuse they play like team while we fight if virat or rohit is better who cares who is better and who has what fan, they failed when they were given the chance to captain in golden genration of indian team. Time to pick player which plays for team win rather than individual scores, we need match winner not run machines who fails on grandest stage

He rejected the offer, said he can't leave his family for 10 months

DC ka halat dekha hain na ?

He's got a vision. I don't think he will create any rift. The seniors like Rohit, Kohli and Jadeja should retire from T20Is for the betterment of Indian cricket and everything will be fine..

@@AyushRaj-rt6bbThey will have to , doesn’t matter india will win t20 wc or not . Give chances to players like abhishek sharma, jaiswal, gill , rinku . atleast in t20 .

What negative? Because he had a fight with Virat? But Gambhir did not start this, he just replied to Virat in his own language.

Shashtri era looked good only because of the bowling coach Bharat Arun. But there was no consistency in selections and playing 11 at that time also. Virat-Shashtri couldn't build a strong enough team.

Ishaant sharma ke cousins ko lelo sab. For someone writing such a long thread you do not add anything of value in the comments.

A tough foreign coach

This slave mentality is the reason for our downfall.
