With Gautam Gambhir's appointment, Indian cricket entered a new phase. In his upcoming innings for Team India, Gambhir will don a different hat. He feels privileged to be back at the national camp.

The recently appointed head coach's first duty will be the next Sri Lanka series.

My love is cricket, and I'm excited to collaborate closely with the BCCI, Mr. VVS Laxman, the Head of Cricket, the support team, and most importantly, the players as we strive to succeed in the next tournaments," Gambhir continued.
