Gautam Gambhir will be focused on the Test season which lies ahead for the Indian Team and what matters most will be the relationship of head coach Gautam Gambhir with skipper Rohit Sharma. Rohit flourished as a captain under Rahul Dravid’s guidance, and the team ended a 13-year wait for a world championship title in any format.

Sanjay Manjrekar On Rohit Sharma-Gautam Gambhir’s Chemistry

Former India player Sanjay Manjrekar feels that the playing XI would be a reflection of the present chemistry being struck between Gambhir and Rohit. Similar partnerships, he cited the examples of Virat Kohli with Ravi Shastri and Rohit with Rahul Dravid who are considered successful in their teams due to good chemistry between a coach and a captain.

“It was very clear that Rohit and Rahul clicked together. When Virat and Ravi were there, some of the decisions, especially while picking the playing XI gave you an idea of how much influence the coach had on the captain. I think you will start getting an idea about their dynamics with the selections that they make, not so much the results,” Manjrekar said on ESPNCricinfo.

‘He Reads The Game Very Well’: Manjrekar On Gambhir

“I have known Gambhir for the last 4 years. He is someone that reads the game very well and is someone who can be clinical with Indian cricket and not too emotional. I have always believed that the coach is as good as the team. Indian cricket is in a great state, and hope that continues. What we see of Gambhir is a persona on TV and I think when he is in the dressing room he will change his approach a little bit,” the cricketer-turned-expert concluded.

According to Manjrekar Gautam Gambhir will be changing his approach and will not follow his regular ways.
