R Ashwin Reveals How Different the Gautam Gambhir Era Has Been Since He Took Over

While speaking on his YouTube show, R Ashwin opens up on his experience of working with Gautam Gambhir for the first time since he took charge as the head coach of the Senior Men's National Cricket Team. He revealed that there is a stark difference among them, but their effectiveness is praiseworthy.

"I think he is very relaxed. I want to call him 'relaxed rancho'. There's no pressure at all. In the morning, there will be a team huddle. He is very relaxed about that as well. He will be like 'are you coming, please come'. It's like that. With Rahul bhai, as soon as we come, he wanted things in order: even a bottle should be kept at a particular place at a particular time. He is very regimented. He wanted things in order.

"With Gambhir, he doesn't expect all that. He has a relaxed order. He will be a people's man. He will capture everybody's heart. I think he will be loved by the boys," Ashwin said.

The Bangla Tigers, on the other hand, will be aiming to bounce back to avoid a whitewash before they head onto the T20Is leg of games.
