Gautam Gambhir before taking the role as India's head coach was associated with Kolkata Knight Riders, the Indian Premier League franchise co-owned by the actor.
Despite earlier suggestions from the Indian camp that he would need to learn how to bat in the middle order if he wanted to be in the T20I team, Sanju Samson was once again in focus and promoted back up to number three.
Coming at one-down in a high-stress chase, persevering through early setbacks, and accepting responsibility with composed determination were striking similarities between the two knocks.
Gambhir praised Rohit and Kohli for their mature handling of the chase in a dressing room video that the BCCI posted on social media.
While India won the Asia Cup tournament last month in the UAE under his captaincy, Suryakumar's own form with the bat left a lot to be desired as he managed just 72 runs in seven innings.
Amidst the immense trolling, Harshit Rana impressed many with his bowling in the third and final ODI against Australia in Sydney, which India won by nine wickets.
The video is reportedly after the second ODI between India and Australia at Adelaide.
Should the series defeat against Australia be a wake-up call? Will Gautam Gambhir change his strategy?
What Gambhir now needs to do is sharpen his tactical approach and support the Indian captains in making better on-field decisions.
Shama Mohamed has already caused controversy with her opinions on cricket. When the Congresswoman referred to Rohit Sharma as "fat for a sportsperson" and the "most unimpressive" skipper in Indian history earlier this year, she drew criticism.
The match was reduced to 26 overs per side due to intermittent rain delays, and India's top order collapsed very quickly. Rohit Sharma scored 8, Shubman Gill 10 runs, Virat Kohli got out for a duck.
Kuldeep Yadav was on the bench, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar, both spin-bowling all-rounders, were preferred to play.
It is interesting to note that out of the 49 ODI tons Tendulkar smashed, only one came in Australia.
After a long layoff, Rohit will be back in international cricket, and he looked very good during his practice session in the nets.
After India swept the series against West Indies, Gautam Gambhir didn't mince his words while addressing the criticism around Harshit Rana.
Gautam Gambhir felt that it is extremely important to follow the template and play the Ranji Trophy games in the lead-up to the South Africa series.
In more of a no holds barred response, the head coach called the trolling "shameful" and went on a rant during the press conference after India's win against West Indies in New Delhi.
The loss to New Zealand was India's first series defeat in 12 years.
Gambhir said that he doesn't want India to forget that series defeat because he thinks it's critical to deny any opposition even the remotest chance to mount a comeback.
IND vs WI: The entire Indian team laughed out loud when Shubman Gill won the toss on a flat track in Delhi.
The 39-year-old noted Gautam Gambhir's failure to include Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the 2027 World Cup plan would be a "really poor decision".
The event, which is scheduled as an outside meal in Gautam Gambhir's garden area, will be a casual team-bonding activity.
India's ODI captaincy change was noteworthy because Ajit Agarkar, the current chairperson of the selection committee, stressed the need of giving Shubman Gill enough time to get ready for the 2027 World Cup.
Harshit Rana was selected as one of the four specialist pacers in the ODI squad for the three-match series in Australia.
With his 10th century as an Indian opener, KL Rahul surpassed big names like Rohit Sharma and current India coach Gautam Gambhir in an elite list.
