Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir begins his first assignment as head coach of the Indian cricket team with a T20I series against Sri Lanka. His successful stint with Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL has generated excitement. However, Sanjay Manjrekar downplays the coach's impact, citing India's World Cup victories led by different coaches. Manjrekar emphasizes player performance over coaching influence. Shubman Gill will be vice-captain for the T20I series under Suryakumar Yadav and ODIs under Rohit Sharma.
