Gautam Gambhir Aggression: The Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir is quite famous for his aggressive nature on the field during his cricketing and coaching days. This is the one thing that catches the attention of fans and, moreover, the camerapersons. During his cricketing days and still now, he never hesitates to speak whatever goes on in his mind. From having a heated exchange to pitching a curator in England to having a heated talk with Virat Kohli, which is one of the famous ones, Gambhir never hesitated about what people thought of him.
I’m Still Aggressive: Gautam Gambhir Aggression
Now, in a recent interview, Gautam Gambhir opened up on his aggression and how he changed that with time. During the start of the second test between India and the West Indies at the Arun Jaitely Stadium, he said,
“I’m still aggressive, but there is one change now. Whenever I try to be aggressive, that first instinct is still pretty much there—my first reaction is to take on the fight. But somewhere, with age, the first thing that comes to mind is “ghar pe bachhe hain” (there are kids at home).
Gautam Gambhir On Team Dinners
Before the start of the second test, between India and the West Indies, Gautam Gambhir hosted dinner for the entire squad and the support staff. Talking about the team dinner, he said,
“I believe that team dinners have occurred in the past as well.” On the ground, we meet and spend a lot of time together. But a lot of conversations are limited. So, it is important for any team to know each other off the field as well. So, I think, the team dinners that we do, we try to have them two or three times in every series so that the team comes together once, and there is a very light atmosphere.”
INDIA vs WEST INDIES
Talking about the start of the second day of the test against the West Indies, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who remained not out on the first day, scoring 173 runs, lost his wicket with a run-out on the second day with 175 runs.
