The opening gambit of Gautam Gambhir
Despite India's series defeat, the new coach has adopted a reformist stance.
During India's most recent tour, the weather in Colombo brought back memories of the 1990s. Tweakers deservedly dominated the sluggish, twisted, and occasionally kept low pitches, taking 43 of the 54 wickets. Under these circumstances, India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir's tactical board was audacious, forward-thinking, and in step with the times, much like that of his distant predecessor Greg Chappell.
All-rounders, a left-right batting order, and flexibility were all essential components in Chappell's vision of a modern ODI team (he even called MS Dhoni an all-rounder). Even while the World Cup disaster has received a lot of attention, it obscured India's triumph in the One-Day Internationals (ODIs), as their depth in both batting and bowling allowed them to set a mark for the most consecutive chases (17), which is still standing.
