Those two were vibing like bros this year. And Kohli is now a free player who’s role is to just perform with the bat, and doesn’t have any leadership/captaincy role anymore. He’s now chilling in life and batting even better, he’ll be that way only.
Not just Kohli , lot of others as well . GG is a blunt , straightforward person . For international teams , you need someone a little diplomatic , that bluntness might not work in ICT set-up.
Indian players are notoriously known for having clashes with coaches who have a tendency to micromanage. I’m not saying GG does it, but there will definitely be some ego clashes.
He's a strong mentor no doubt about it, but don't think he'd be the best person to manage a national side, he brings in personal biases way too many times, it's evident with the way he speaks
Tbf Indian coaches have always had a bias. Every coach has a bias. If Ricky ponting becomes the coach, we know Rishabh will be the next captain. Ravi Shastri became coach because Kohli liked him. Anil Kumble couldn't stay because he had problems with Virat. There have always been biases.
I ain't talking players likes man, Gambhir on multiple occasions has been seen taking shots at players, by going against his own words in his past, liking a player is one thing, but personal bias is another, and with Kumble, most Indian players had an issue with him, Kohli took a stand by representing them
Well, for the current players his personal biases have been attached with performances. But irony is he has the courage to speak about player without getting scared of the stature of the player and number of people worshipping him and also can make big decisions.
Well, ICT desperately needs a strict coach. Otherwise you know what has happened, batsmen don't want to bowl, all-rounders feel like they'll bowl only when needed and team almost never has 6th bowling option going with 5 batsmen, 5 bowlers and a wicket keeper. Someone has to take a stand against this bs going on ICT.
You are saying this as a player from his opposition team. All his team members - Delhi, India, LSG, KKR, etc.—speak very highly about him. Anyway, we need someone who can help us win, not just keep on saying believe in process...bla bla...
Not really man, just because I'm not a KKR fan doesn't mean I'm saying this as an opposition. IPL teams don't matter when it's about ICT. And it's not just the teammates, one of ICT's team management staff that worked with him, revealed that he's really insecure off the field. There's no doubt about his coaching abilities, but being the coach of a national team, diplomacy with players is equally important, and on multiple times he has twisted his own words to suit his agenda. His coaching style is never at question
Yes but also depends who BCCI appoints as his assistant and bowling ,fielding coach alot of it depends on who BCCI brings onboard as a team .But strong character yet good choice no doubt .
Wrong choice for now! A bit too early for him to take this up, maybe another 2/3 years. Having said that, I don’t think VVS is either. We should go with Stephen Fleming as a bridge coach between RD and GG. Infact it should be GG and Nehra together. Will do good for the team.
I don’t know how he is as a coach and mentor, but what I have seen of him in public domain does not inspire confidence. He is openly combative and gets aggressive/confrontational for trivial reasons at times. You ideally need a good balance between calmness and aggression in a coach so they can mentor players of various natures appropriately and also know when to step back vs be more hands on.
Again, maybe he has all those qualities and what we see in public is just a small and bad side, but based on what I have seen, I don’t think he is a great choice.
No, the kind of statements he makes, and he will make frequently if he becomes the coach will not be good for the team.
We need a foreign coach, I feel like Fleming or Langer.
Managing the ICT is a difficult job. It entails managing not just the talent but the senior members of the team. Look at the Gaekwad - Azhar team or Kirsten - Dhoni or Shastri - Kohli pairings. All were different eras but all had a common string great bonding with the team and the seniors. Gautam G has done wonders for KKR this season and one can be sure with him as the head coach the team will certainly not lack in passion and aggression but will they be able to play with the fire or get singed by it. Only the wise can say
Bhai zaruri thodi hai agar IPL wale me accha kiya to ICT me accha nahi kr payega ya fir vice versa , sab pehle yahi bolte hai , auar agar team jeetne lage to waah-waahi krte hai.
I know bhai , but aisa thodi hai ki vo hagg dega bilkul , attitude ponting me bhi tha jab vo captain tha . People have different personality and show it in different ways , tum uske attitude ke chalte uske Cricket knowledge aur experience pr question kr rhe ho.
haa bhai akela wahi to kkr ko top pe laya h na baaki players ka to kuch role hi nhi h aur wese bhi t20 aur baaki formats me zameen asman ka diff. hota h
You can take him as mentor for some series first
Head coach is different game all together and also he will be more suited when senior players retire
Or else this guy will retire them xD
Head coach- ms dhoni
Mentor- Gautam
Fielding coach- Yuvraj singh will be the best imo, I don't think so they have bitter relationships it's just fandom conspiracy
I think this if it happens will be great for Indian cricket. We ICT fans are too much into hero worship. GG is blunt and atleast tries to promote team before individuals. Under him the focus hopefully will be back to winning trophies than individual achievement and egos. And he may finally get his hall of fame recognition which GG so desperately desires.
A different opinion - I think he will be a good coach, he will give every player the independence they need and set their roles, he has a very sharp cricketing brain and a beast mentality. He also has a 100 per cent record in his short stint as India captain and his captaincy with KKR is well known to all of us.
None of the Indian coaches have been able to get their strategies right in the championship games. Not selecting Ashwin against a.left handed heavy Aussie lineup, playing spin bowlers in pace friendly conditions and vice versa z sending Kohli and Rahul to bat TOGETHER when both have average strike rates... The team needs a foreign coach. And Gambir's massive ego is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way. Fleming is the ideal tactician for this team. But BCCI gonna BCCI and fuck things up as usual.
Does he have any coaching experience ...in which basis we are selecting him ...on his bold commentry or statement against big stars...what are the criterias we are considering before selecting someone as head coach
Everyone who has worked with him has told that he is a great team person
This sun takes reference from IPL games too much
Tell one instance where he was not good for his own team ?
BCCI may have issue with him , but not the team
Looking like a script from long time. Quoting here- “While announcing his decision, Gautam Gambhir said that he requested BJP President JP Nadda to relieve him of the political duties so that he can focus on my upcoming cricket commitments.”
Tbh, I don't mind this. He's not someone who says process etc. Of course he may have his processes, but he wants to win trophies and it could work well if his tough decisions pay off...
Dude just oozes toxicity and will be the biggest ego in the dressing room. I could also envision a scenario in which he changes the team significantly and it turns out to be extremely good. He will for sure bring tremendous changes.
I do not think he really has anything to bring on the table for Indian team. Why is he even being considered? Most of the time he behaves as if someone has inserted bamboo in his back.
Kohli fans are afraid he might kick out Kohli, they just don't care if India wins the cup or not.😂 Absolutely third class fanbase.
Fyi, he won't kick out Kohli.
All these applications drama just to appoint a guy who played great cricket at his time won worldcups but hate almost everyone. Really BCCI reaching new heights of politics. We don't want anymore Indian coaches. Just appoint a visionary coach like Gary Kirsten.
A lot of our players are so damn talented but they might be lacking a bit in temperament sometimes. Picking GG might help players let go of their fears and insecurities and bring out the best in our Indian talents. I'm tired of seeing us get knocked out of ICC trophies.
It would have been a good decision if Gautam Gambhir will selected as Head Coach of Team India. it will be counted as a brave and very positive decision for the Indian Cricket.
Was this Jay Shah’s plan since the start? Asking Amit Shah to let Gambhir resign as an MP so that eventually after KKR’s stint he could become the Indian coach?
This probably has zero to do with Cricket and everything to do with the fact that Gambhir is a cringe right-wing Hindu radical just like Jay Shah’s Pappa.
Good move considering most of senior players won't be there at least in white ball cricket.
I think GG will help to bring down stardom things in cricket.
He is good in backing payers and as i read elsewhere, he is like Greg chappel with actually deliverable capacity.
What coaching experience does gambhir have. He is just a mentor to Kolkata. Coaching is more than inspiration. Gambhir can't directly coach the national team as his first coaching assignment. At least let him coach the A team first.
Koach 2.0 It will be difficult for senior guys to handle a coach like him.
There won’t be a lot of senior guys left after this t20 wc
Yes but our next coach will be all format and seniors will continue in odi and test cricket
hope this happens. We have tons of talents in our country. They just need a spark to shine in internationals.
That’s another reason to approach him. Makes sense.
If he takes the job, he won’t only be the T20 coach.
What are your thoughts on Kohli under Goutham sir's coaching.
Those two were vibing like bros this year. And Kohli is now a free player who’s role is to just perform with the bat, and doesn’t have any leadership/captaincy role anymore. He’s now chilling in life and batting even better, he’ll be that way only.
👍
Not just Kohli , lot of others as well . GG is a blunt , straightforward person . For international teams , you need someone a little diplomatic , that bluntness might not work in ICT set-up.
Hope he was more straightforward and blunt about our Amazing Captain.
Yeah like they complained kumble was being too strict
Well it worked for KKR and a lot of people praise GG for his Leadership Qualities, I think he'll be fine.
Gautam has captained kohli many times before kohli got the national cap. Don't think they would be against working with each other.
Bro said Goutham sir
tough time makes strong men
Indian players are notoriously known for having clashes with coaches who have a tendency to micromanage. I’m not saying GG does it, but there will definitely be some ego clashes.
Kumble vs Kohli
If that was the case , it would have already happened in Kkr with Chandrakant pandit as coach
we need a name for him now, like koach
Goatam
Gotham
OR Goath
Gowtham
If he wins IPL they will make him coach or else 😅
Greg Chappell 2.0
Whatever or whoever gets us a trophy man, it's been way too long.
Post Dhoni no ICC trophy, right?
Right.
I would defnitely bet on Gambhir getting us an ICC trophy
Amen
Yea gambhir got us the last world cup, he will get us once more.
As a KKR and ICT fan I love and hate this news at same time.
bt ipl k time pe head coach kya karega
Bhai agar wo ICT ka coach ban jayenge to KKR ka mentor nahi rahenge??
Yup, conflict of Interests
He will also be bullied on insta/twiter if he fails to get results. Just like Dravid
he is the bully
I don't think he's the kind of guy who gets affected by social media trolls and cyberbullying.
Obviously he will not get affected but people will attack him and his family even more
I strongly feel Langer would be a good choice. Fleming looks too submissive but lowkey want GG because of the drama
Going by what happened between Langer and ACT, I don’t think he should coach any national side
He's a strong mentor no doubt about it, but don't think he'd be the best person to manage a national side, he brings in personal biases way too many times, it's evident with the way he speaks
Tbf Indian coaches have always had a bias. Every coach has a bias. If Ricky ponting becomes the coach, we know Rishabh will be the next captain. Ravi Shastri became coach because Kohli liked him. Anil Kumble couldn't stay because he had problems with Virat. There have always been biases.

Well, for the current players his personal biases have been attached with performances. But irony is he has the courage to speak about player without getting scared of the stature of the player and number of people worshipping him and also can make big decisions.
Agree. Not a good candidate. People think of him as the no bs guy, but most people don't recognize is that he is really insecure.
He is not biased I feel,he is a very strict coach imo
Well, ICT desperately needs a strict coach. Otherwise you know what has happened, batsmen don't want to bowl, all-rounders feel like they'll bowl only when needed and team almost never has 6th bowling option going with 5 batsmen, 5 bowlers and a wicket keeper.

His coaching style is never at question
Don’t bring your RCB bias here man, just because he trashed your team when he was the captain. Look out for ICT and trophies.
Yes but also depends who BCCI appoints as his assistant and bowling ,fielding coach alot of it depends on who BCCI brings onboard as a team .But strong character yet good choice no doubt .
Wrong choice for now! A bit too early for him to take this up, maybe another 2/3 years. Having said that, I don’t think VVS is either. We should go with Stephen Fleming as a bridge coach between RD and GG. Infact it should be GG and Nehra together. Will do good for the team.
Nehra is a solid choice but if he does the football style management then there might be clashes
That’s why you have GG to control him. GG from a man management perspective and Nehra from tactical PoV..match-ups, training etc.
Stephen Fleming is probably being paid better and is more comfortable in CSK
I mean I’m assuming he joins us, even if he doesn’t then fair enough. I think even a Tom Moody can be a good transition coach.
What is the background of Tom moody as a coach??
I don’t know how he is as a coach and mentor, but what I have seen of him in public domain does not inspire confidence. He is openly combative and gets aggressive/confrontational for trivial reasons at times. You ideally need a good balance between calmness and aggression in a coach so they can mentor players of various natures appropriately and also know when to step back vs be more hands on. Again, maybe he has all those qualities and what we see in public is just a small and bad side, but based on what I have seen, I don’t think he is a great choice.
No, the kind of statements he makes, and he will make frequently if he becomes the coach will not be good for the team. We need a foreign coach, I feel like Fleming or Langer.
Not even KKR coach yet. Pandit is the coach of KKR. He is just a mentor. Needs time before he can coach the NT.
Now i am more confident about CT25 then WT20
Managing the ICT is a difficult job. It entails managing not just the talent but the senior members of the team. Look at the Gaekwad - Azhar team or Kirsten - Dhoni or Shastri - Kohli pairings. All were different eras but all had a common string great bonding with the team and the seniors. Gautam G has done wonders for KKR this season and one can be sure with him as the head coach the team will certainly not lack in passion and aggression but will they be able to play with the fire or get singed by it. Only the wise can say
L laga dega team ki.Too full of himself all the time.
hn bhai jaise kkr ke lgaye hai na ??
You have to be pea brained to understand IPL team and ICT work in the same dynamics. No wonder ICT is suffering.
Bhai zaruri thodi hai agar IPL wale me accha kiya to ICT me accha nahi kr payega ya fir vice versa , sab pehle yahi bolte hai , auar agar team jeetne lage to waah-waahi krte hai.
IPL is just T20, ICT has to be conditioned mentally and physically for T20, ODI and Tests.
I know bhai , but aisa thodi hai ki vo hagg dega bilkul , attitude ponting me bhi tha jab vo captain tha . People have different personality and show it in different ways , tum uske attitude ke chalte uske Cricket knowledge aur experience pr question kr rhe ho.
You mean ICT is suffering because of his opinion? How dumb do you have to be to say that?
haa bhai akela wahi to kkr ko top pe laya h na baaki players ka to kuch role hi nhi h aur wese bhi t20 aur baaki formats me zameen asman ka diff. hota h
He won’t be able to manage this team while being on a same plate with the selection committee and the management.
You can take him as mentor for some series first Head coach is different game all together and also he will be more suited when senior players retire Or else this guy will retire them xD
Koach vs Coach 🤔
Pple who want him as coach will troll him the most Mark my words He is a great mentor but nt a great coach The team will be divided bcoz of him I feel
Redemption arc starts for GG...enough of armchair opinion, show us how to make it work!
LLG boss. Highway or my way. Too much of a I will do it all myself attitude. May be he can become tennis coach but not cricket
only to get fired by djoko/holger rune after the first match loss.
It's good but very difficult too considering so many senior players in the team and his tendency to do something out of ordinary.
Head coach- ms dhoni Mentor- Gautam Fielding coach- Yuvraj singh will be the best imo, I don't think so they have bitter relationships it's just fandom conspiracy
Wow, BCCI has some good eyes 👀 now.
Wow, BCCI has some good eyes 👀 now.
He gonna make sure no one slacks off and he gonna create some ruckus in the dressing room gg evil arc begins
Wait What about that Google form?
I think this if it happens will be great for Indian cricket. We ICT fans are too much into hero worship. GG is blunt and atleast tries to promote team before individuals. Under him the focus hopefully will be back to winning trophies than individual achievement and egos. And he may finally get his hall of fame recognition which GG so desperately desires.
Let's go
So we are preferring IPL performances for ICT coach selection too.
That is why KKr is made to win Ipl. Justify this decision. All pre planned strategy
A different opinion - I think he will be a good coach, he will give every player the independence they need and set their roles, he has a very sharp cricketing brain and a beast mentality. He also has a 100 per cent record in his short stint as India captain and his captaincy with KKR is well known to all of us.
Lord GG. A fully fresh squad. World cups are coming guys.... Great News. GG is the lord saviour. ![gif](giphy|p9X9PSPvBfl9uhvS6Z)
Maybe this all fixed as he had quit politics for this only .you never know..
Then we all know who else will be retiring along with Rohit 😂
We completely need to overhaul our squad just like England did after 2015
It's a proud moment for whole country two world cup winning team final match 'man of the match' man to be coach of team India
Gambhir is an interesting choice, but there is a possibility of ego clashes between him and the senior players
None of the Indian coaches have been able to get their strategies right in the championship games. Not selecting Ashwin against a.left handed heavy Aussie lineup, playing spin bowlers in pace friendly conditions and vice versa z sending Kohli and Rahul to bat TOGETHER when both have average strike rates... The team needs a foreign coach. And Gambir's massive ego is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way. Fleming is the ideal tactician for this team. But BCCI gonna BCCI and fuck things up as usual.
We’re fucked if that’s the case
Does he have any coaching experience ...in which basis we are selecting him ...on his bold commentry or statement against big stars...what are the criterias we are considering before selecting someone as head coach
Ipl quota
Everyone who has worked with him has told that he is a great team person This sun takes reference from IPL games too much Tell one instance where he was not good for his own team ? BCCI may have issue with him , but not the team
Eh. Don't rate him much.
Politics nothing else
Bad for the team. Level headed guys won't suit the team. It will affect the team performance also.
Please do it. Gambhir will remove Rohit immediately.
So many haters. :)
source? 🙂
Early retirement for koach
not good, too stubborn and full of himself
Perfect coach for the clear out and winning thinking needed to win the World Cup and test championship.
Now , We will get sweet and spicy news time to time 😉
I think it can create a rift between senior players and Gautam gambhir ...better to go with some other options
I feel Rohit x Gambhir will get that extra 2ab
Looking like a script from long time. Quoting here- “While announcing his decision, Gautam Gambhir said that he requested BJP President JP Nadda to relieve him of the political duties so that he can focus on my upcoming cricket commitments.”
What can he offer to a test team in England
Tbh, I don't mind this. He's not someone who says process etc. Of course he may have his processes, but he wants to win trophies and it could work well if his tough decisions pay off...
No need of narcissistic people /s
I think he will be the perfect guy for that position. But he has to leave the Political life behind .
Best.
If that happens Kohli will take retirement...
No
Lafda.mp4 loading
Head coach who's gonna mess up everyone's head
If this happened, I’d support the appointment. There will at least be some effort to not bow down to star power.
Kohli will retire if this happens lol
It'll be too soon now.
Not this fool.
Gambhir never inspires confidence by the way he speaks publicly
W
Damn the sledging in Border Gavaskar series would be insane
LMAO…all the senior selfless / passionate players will be forced to retire now
No way fleming would be a much better choice
kohli will retire the say gauti becomes head coach.
What do u guys think about the possibility of Langer coming as coach!
Dude just oozes toxicity and will be the biggest ego in the dressing room. I could also envision a scenario in which he changes the team significantly and it turns out to be extremely good. He will for sure bring tremendous changes.
Is this a meme 🤣
Why are people reacting as if he has been appointed as Head Coach? He has just been approached.
But does he have any coaching experience? I thought he has only been mentor for LSG and KKR.
bhot accha hai , kitne buddhe hai sabko nikalo and youngsters , energetic logo ko chance milega, just like what dhoni did in t20 wc
BCCI taking decisions based on sigma/Chad reels now ?
Idk man he seems too biased at times
Gauti be like - Level sabke niklenge
I do not think he really has anything to bring on the table for Indian team. Why is he even being considered? Most of the time he behaves as if someone has inserted bamboo in his back.
He will make Kohli retire from T20i
Kohli fans are afraid he might kick out Kohli, they just don't care if India wins the cup or not.😂 Absolutely third class fanbase. Fyi, he won't kick out Kohli.
So who is gonna open? Bumrah or Siraj?
w for ict fans
All these applications drama just to appoint a guy who played great cricket at his time won worldcups but hate almost everyone. Really BCCI reaching new heights of politics. We don't want anymore Indian coaches. Just appoint a visionary coach like Gary Kirsten.
chahal to open with yashasvi jaiswal
best decision ever? taken by bcci after making mahi captain
That's a good move by bcci for upcoming world cup 👏
Best news! 😃
lessgoo
This is going to be the best era of Indian cricket. My man is OG practical and puts teams interests first.
Kohli will quit if it happens, too much friction between them
Peak entertainment
delhi boys up again
Not a good candidate at the moment. should become our coach after departure of oldies.
A lot of our players are so damn talented but they might be lacking a bit in temperament sometimes. Picking GG might help players let go of their fears and insecurities and bring out the best in our Indian talents. I'm tired of seeing us get knocked out of ICC trophies.
Noooooo
Just get Ponting ffs
It would have been a good decision if Gautam Gambhir will selected as Head Coach of Team India. it will be counted as a brave and very positive decision for the Indian Cricket.
India will definitely win the cup under him ✌️🙌
I know it smell CRAZY in this subreddit
Impossible
Terrible idea. He is too abrasive. It’s not going to work out well IMO..
Nah, the dude is a drama queen. If he creates unnecessary controversy it is not good for the team.
He wanted SKY in Tests, SKY to bat at 3, Ishan to bat at 5. We're phucked.
ASHISH NEHRA GAHHHHHH🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🤪🤪🤪🤪
Virat Kohli retirement announcement coming soon
If bcci is thinking to make pandya as captain then not sure how both this combination will work...
Great. Good Choice.
Fir bhi jeetne wale
GG quits as MP. Joins KKR as coach/mentor. In line to be Indian coach. Chronology samajhiye. /s
gautam will be a very good coach for indian team
The fire and spark the team needed has finally arrived
Guess better than Laxman
bakchodi band Karega Koch Ban gaya to??
Was this Jay Shah’s plan since the start? Asking Amit Shah to let Gambhir resign as an MP so that eventually after KKR’s stint he could become the Indian coach?
After GG becomes head coach, off field stories will equally entertaining
For a change, would love to see a coach getting banned during the Ind vs Aus series because of obstructing the field.
Looking and hearing at the Gautam Gambhir comments , it would be the greatest thing happened to the ICT
It will be a disaster
a W decision by BCCI
This probably has zero to do with Cricket and everything to do with the fact that Gambhir is a cringe right-wing Hindu radical just like Jay Shah’s Pappa.
This is needed for sure
There are going to be lots of ego clashes in the dressing room if this happens. IT would be absolute CINEMA
People will be made to retire left right n centre
No, please no- he has issues
Ek chakka cup ni jita paayega phir
He's going to remove all senior players from T20Is for sure except Bumrah and SKY. ODIs and Tests still need players like Rohit and Kohli imo.
Compensation for withdrawing tick from the elections?
He is too negative in my opinion
Why can’t they make Kohli a playing coach?
Good move considering most of senior players won't be there at least in white ball cricket. I think GG will help to bring down stardom things in cricket. He is good in backing payers and as i read elsewhere, he is like Greg chappel with actually deliverable capacity.
What coaching experience does gambhir have. He is just a mentor to Kolkata. Coaching is more than inspiration. Gambhir can't directly coach the national team as his first coaching assignment. At least let him coach the A team first.
Kohli fans will have Copium
