Gambhir can be helpful in going through the transition phase

Currently, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja are some of the senior players of Team India who may be seen saying goodbye to international cricket in the next 12 to 18 months. In such a situation, the Indian team is currently going through a phase of transition to T20 format and after that, in a few months, the team may go through the same phase in ODI and Test cricket as well.

In such a situation, a strict coach like Gautam Gambhir can get better performance from the young players of the Indian team. This is the most important reason why BCCI secretary Jay Shah appointed Gautam Gambhir as the head coach of Team India.

There is no discrimination between senior and junior players

Gautam Gambhir has been seen coaching in IPL cricket in the last few years. It is clear from that that according to Gautam Gambhir's philosophy, there is no difference between the senior and junior members of the team. In such a situation, Gautam Gambhir treats the senior and junior players playing in the team equally.

Such a mentality can increase the ego of the team players and make them think about the team's better performance rather than their own performance. Which is very important to transform any team into a champion team.

Team India can perform better in big matches

The biggest problem for Team India in the last decade has been that the players of the Indian team often fail in big matches. Due to which Team India had to wait for 11 long years to win its next ICC event after winning the Champions Trophy 2013. In such a situation, Gautam Gambhir becoming the head coach can bring a big difference in the mindset of Team India players before entering a big match.

This is because Gautam Gambhir displayed brilliant batting for Team India in the 2007 T20 World Cup final and the 2011 World Cup final, making the Indian team champion in both the ICC events.
