As soon as Gambhir arrived, the biggest weakness of Team India started to go away, the effect was seen in Sri Lanka

IND vs SL ODI Series: As expected and thought, the start of the tenure of new coach Gautam Gambhir was exactly the same for Team India. Team India clean swept the T20 series 3-0 on the Sri Lanka tour. In this series, which took place about a month after winning the T20 World Cup, many of the players of Team India were the same who were part of the tournament. Only the captain was new - Suryakumar Yadav. In such a situation, there could not have been a better start for the new coach and captain duo. This start was also special because as soon as Gambhir came, he put emphasis on the work, which Team India had been waiting for for the last 7-8 years. A glimpse of this was seen in the second and especially the third T20 match, but the effect will last for a long time.

In his very first series as the coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir emphasized on solving an important problem of Team India. This is the same problem which many former Indian players had mentioned in the last few years, due to which the balance of Team India was being affected. This problem was that no player in the batting order was able to bowl. After the retirement of veterans like Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina, the Indian team was lagging behind on this front, but now Gambhir has solved it as soon as he came.

Gambhir is busy solving the problem

In the last T20 match against Sri Lanka, Rinku Singh came to bowl in the 19th over and captain Suryakumar Yadav himself came to bowl in the 20th over. Both of them took 2-2 wickets and tied the match which was slipping from the hands and then the team won in the super over. This was not just a fluke or a move made in desperation, but it is the strategy and preparation of new coach Gautam Gambhir, which is very important for Team India in the coming years.

Even before this series, players like Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh were seen bowling in the nets, who are part of the team only as batsmen. When their photos came out, there was a joke going on on social media that in Gambhir's era, batsmen will have to bowl, while bowlers will get opportunities to bat. Who knew that the first thing would turn out to be true. That is, Gambhir is taking decisions keeping in mind the future preparations.

Team India was missing something

Actually, for the last few years, the place of batsmen like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul was almost confirmed in Team India's batting line-up. All of them are strong in batting but none of them have been able to help the team through bowling and the team has missed it many times. In such a situation, as soon as Gambhir came, he first took steps to solve this problem, so that in the upcoming series and tournaments, Team India tries such new tricks and gets success.
