Gautam Gambhir is the new head coach of Team India. He is going to take over the coaching responsibilities from the Sri Lanka tour. Many changes are expected in Team India after Gautam Gambhir becomes the coach. It is also being said that with the arrival of Gambhir, the fortunes of many players may shine and for many, a no-entry board may be put up in Team India. One of those players is Navdeep Saini, whose fortunes are expected to rise. There are speculations that after Gautam Gambhir becomes the head coach, Navdeep Saini may be seen making a comeback in Team India again.

Navdeep Saini played his last match for India in the year 2021 as a T20 match against Sri Lanka on 28 July. But, after he was out, he could not return to Team India again. Now after 3 years, the news of the return of fast bowler Navdeep Saini is making headlines only because he has a good relationship with Gautam Gambhir, who has become the head coach.

Navdeep and Gautam Gambhir have an old relationship
