Recently, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the appointment of Gautam Gambhir as the new head coach of team India, succeeding outgoing coach Rahul Dravid. Rahul Dravid's tenure came to an end at the end of T20I World Cup 2024, where India lifted the title after 17 years. 

As for Gambhir, he will make his first appearance as head coach in India’s upcoming tour of Sri Lanka where they will play a three-match T20I and a three-match ODI series. Speaking on Gambhir’s appointment, former Australian pacer Brett Lee lauded it and noted that he (Gambhir) will bring out an aggressive intent in the team. 

"He's (Gautam Gambhir) done a terrific job every time he's had an opportunity. The Indian Premier League title with KKR is the best example. He's always been there, always at the top of his game,” Brett Lee told Time of India.

“He finds a way to unite his players and graft his team together. He builds a solid structure. He has been a terrific player, and his aggression and winning attitude will help India. He has shone internationally as a player. India is in safe hands with Gautam Gambhir as coach. Congratulations to Rahul for finishing on a high," Lee said.
