Gautam Gambhir’s coaching methods may have polarised opinions in India but dashing Afghanistan keeper batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz has no hesitation in admitting former KKR Mentor as the “best coach” that he has played under and is baffled by the kind of criticism levelled at him in recent weeks.
Gambhir has faced the wrath of one and all after India’s 0-2 Test home whitewash against South Africa that came a year after the unprecedented 0-3 home series defeat to New Zealand, ending India’s long-standing dominance at home, where they have now lost five of their last seven Tests.
Gurbaz, an integral part of the IPL winning KKR squad in 2024, feels that this outrage against his “Gautam sir” doesn’t make much of a sense.

“If 1.4 billion people are there in your country, you can say 2-3 million will be against him. The rest are with Gautam sir and with India team. It doesn’t make sense to talk about them,” the 24-year-old told PTI in an interview on the sidelines of the fourth season of the ILT20 here.
“He’s the best ever coach and human being, mentor that I have had in my career so far. I love the way he goes about things,” Afghanistan opener couldn’t stop waxing eloquent.
He was quick to point out at the kind of success Indian team has enjoyed under Gambhir’s stewardship.
“India just won the Champions Trophy in ODI format, Asia Cup in T20 format. They have won a lot of series, so you can’t blame them for one series.“
