Sourav Ganguly Urges Gautam Gambhir to Improve as India’s Red-Ball Coach

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly praised Gautam Gambhir's success as a white-ball coach, highlighting victories in the 2025 Champions Trophy and 2026 T20 World Cup. However, Ganguly emphasized Gambhir's need to improve in red-ball cricket, citing recent home Test series losses to South Africa and New Zealand. He advised Gambhir to focus less on pitch conditions, referencing the drawn 2-2 England series, and noted the upcoming 2027 South Africa white-ball tour as a significant challenge for Gambhir's coaching tenure.
