His recent success in leading Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL title in 2024 positioned him as a frontrunner to succeed Rahul Dravid. Dravid, after guiding India to a long-awaited World Cup victory, stepped down, leading the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to appoint Gambhir to the role this week.

Gambhir’s appointment received unanimous support from cricketing figures like Jatin Paranjape, Malhotra, and Sulakshana Naik, underscoring his credentials with two World Cup triumphs and a reputation for leadership. Sanjay Bharadwaj, Gambhir’s childhood coach, believes his protege possesses the qualities needed to elevate Team India to new heights, citing Gambhir’s innate ability to inspire and nurture talent.

In an interview with PTI, Bharadwaj emphasized Gambhir’s integrity and long-standing commitment to cricket. He recalled Gambhir’s foresight in predicting Rohit Sharma’s future greatness when the Indian captain was still in his early career stages. Bharadwaj also highlighted Gambhir’s generosity, noting an instance where he awarded Virat Kohli a ‘Man of the Match’ award years ago, illustrating Gambhir’s supportive nature towards his teammates.

According to Bharadwaj, Gambhir’s approach is rooted in fairness and a strategic focus on team dynamics, prioritizing the game above all else. His prediction about Rohit Sharma’s rise from the start of his career serves as a testament to his keen observation skills and unwavering belief in nurturing talent for the benefit of Indian cricket.

Indian cricket fans can rejoice!

Shah expressed his confidence in Sharma’s leadership, declaring, “We are confident that under Rohit Sharma’s guidance, we will emerge victorious in both the WTC Final and Champions Trophy.” These remarks came during a congratulatory video for the T20 World Cup win, praising Sharma, Virat Kohli, coach Rahul Dravid, and Ravindra Jadeja.

Shah also acknowledged India’s impressive journey in the past year. They reached three finals: losing to Australia in the WTC final (June 2023), enjoying a dominant run in the ODI World Cup (November 2023), but ultimately falling short against Australia in the finals. Interestingly, back in February 2023, Shah had already placed his faith in Sharma, appointing him captain for the 2024 T20 World Cup and predicting the team’s success, a prediction that ultimately came true.
