Shahid Afridi Reacts on Gautam Gambhir: The Indian team has found its next head coach. This is none other than the legendary batsman Gautam Gambhir, who made the Indian team victorious by performing brilliantly in the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 World Cup. After Gambhir became the head coach, people are continuously congratulating him. In this series, former captain of Pakistan cricket team Shahid Afridi has also congratulated Gambhir.
During a special conversation with Star Sports, when Afridi was asked about Gambhir’s appointment, he said, “According to me, this is a big new opportunity for him (Gautam Gambhir). Now it depends on them how they capitalize on the opportunity they get. Sometimes one gets to hear his interview. He talks a lot of positive things.
Let us tell you that when both the players used to enter the field for their respective teams, their relationship was not special. Their battles on the field are quite famous. Till a few days ago, these veteran players did not like each other even on social media and news of their squabbles kept coming to the fore.
However, at present both these players are very good friends. Afridi can often be seen praising Gautam Gambhir. Whereas Gambhir also does not talk much about the opposition player now.
Not only Shahid Afridi, former South African cricket team captain Graeme Smith is also very happy with Gambhir becoming the head coach. He says that if Gambhir joins Team India again, there will be aggression in the Blue Team.
