India head coach Gautam Gambhir is currently spending time with his family before the upcoming Asia Cup. He recently attended the final of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025, where he participated in a fun rapid-fire question round. Gambhir, who was appointed India's head coach after the T20 World Cup 2024, was given a few words in which he associated the names of Indian players.
He picked up legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar as a clutch player, Virat Kohli as a desi boy. Gambhir who was recently in England with Shubman Gill-led side for the five-Test match series of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, picked Gill as the most stylish Indian Cricketer.
