Gautam Gambhir’s aggression and winning attitude will help India: Brett Lee

Former Australia’s gun fast bowler Brett Lee reckons Gautam Gambhir’s aggression and winning attitude will help India. Gambhir has taken over the coaching baton from Rahul Dravid, who recently led India to T20 World Cup glory.

The upcoming tour of Sri Lanka, where India will play three T20Is and as many ODIs, will be Gambhir’s maiden assignment as the team’s chief coach.

Meanwhile, Gambhir doesn’t have any coaching experience at the International level but he has mentored teams like Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. 

Under his mentorship, LSG reached back-to-back playoffs whereas KKR won the IPL 2024 title. He also led KKR to two IPL titles in 2012 and 2014 as a leader. Furthermore, Gambhir won the T20 World Cup in 2007 and he was also part of the 2011 ODI World Cup triumph.

Gambhir is known to take the bull by its horns and under his tutelage, India is expected to adopt an aggressive approach.

“He’s (Gautam Gambhir) done a terrific job every time he’s had an opportunity. The Indian Premier League title with KKR is the best example. He’s always been there, always at the top of his game. He finds a way to unite his players and graft his team together. He builds a solid structure. He has been a terrific player, and his aggression and winning attitude will help India. He has shone internationally as a player. India is in safe hands with Gautam Gambhir as coach. Congratulations to Rahul for finishing on a high,” Lee told Times of India.

Gambhir is known to have strong opinions and there is no doubt that he will try his best to take Indian cricket in the right direction.

The Sri Lanka tour will begin on July 27.
