Gautam Gambhir, India's new coach, has shown a progressive approach in his early days, similar to Greg Chappell's tactics. He has employed left-right batting combinations, used floaters in the batting order, and opted for bowling batsmen. Gambhir's strategy has been to keep opponents guessing, and his use of left-handed batsmen against left-arm spinners and leg-spinners has been effective. He has also emphasized the importance of balance in the team, using six to seven bowling options while maintaining batting depth. Gambhir's approach has shown promise, and his tenure will be shaped by how he builds on this foundation.
