Gautam Gambhir Press Conference Live Updates: Addressing his first media conference as the head coach of the Indian men’s cricket team, Gautam Gambhir has a tough task ahead of him, as he finds himself in the middle of a tricky transition. With Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja deciding to retire from T20 Internationals after their T20 World Cup 2024 triumph, Gambhir has had to take some tough captaincy calls. Suryakumar Yadav‘s promotion as the skipper in the shortest format, ahead of the ‘natural successor’ Hardik Pandya, is the biggest burning topic in Indian cricket at the moment. Gambhir is expected to explain the decision and clarify a number of other topics, such as Shubman Gill‘s promotion as white-ball vice-captain as well as Ravindra Jadeja’s ODI snub.
Here are the live updates from Gautam Gambhir’s press conference as Team India head coach from Mumbai:

Gautam Gambhir Press Conference Live: Why Shubman Gill As White-Ball Vice-Captain?
Shubman Gill didn’t even make India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad, yet has been named the vice-captain for the shortest format, with Suryakumar Yadav the skipper. Gill isn’t someone who has shone the brightest as an opening batter in the shortest format over the last year or so. He only took over the captaincy responsibility at Gujarat Titans, his India Premier League side, this year, and didn’t impress many with his leadership attributes. Gill was also made Team India’s vice-captain for ODIs against Sri Lanka. Expect Gambhir to explain this decision of his and the selectors’.
