After India won the T20 World Cup in 2024, Rahul Dravid’s term as head coach of the Indian cricket team came to an end, and Gautam Gambhir was named the new coach. The announcement of Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Rohit Sharma’s withdrawal from Twenty20 international cricket marked a new chapter for the team. Although WV Raman and National Cricket Academy (NCA) head VVS Laxman’s names did circulate, Gambhir was the clear favorite in the end. While most analysts and fans applauded the decision, former Pakistani cricketer Tanveer Ahmed feels that Gambhir was not deserving of the post.Tanveer used social media to label Gambhir’s selection as a “parchi” case and to say that, because of his work with the youth, VVS Laxman ought to have been named head coach.
The person who assembles the squad using “sources or recommendations” is referred to as “parchi.”
Given his lengthy tenure as coach of the India B team, VVS Laxman ought to have been named head coach of the Indian squad. The former Pakistan cricket player wrote on X (previously known as Twitter) that “it seems like Gautam Gambhir’s appointment is a ‘parchi’ case.”
Gambhir led the squad to the ground and oversaw the training session, which included fielding drills and sessions with the players. Gambhir took over as captain when the famous Rahul Dravid retired.
Running, catching, and one-on-one interactions were the majority of the training session. Suryakumar Yadav, the new T20I skipper, conversed with the players as well. Gambhir was observed talking with all-rounder Shivam Dube and providing Sanju Samson some batting advice.
