Gautam Gambhir’s Playful Bollywood Twist at Delhi Premier League T20
In an entertaining segment of the Delhi Premier League T20, Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of Team India, took a break from his coaching duties to engage in a lighthearted activity. He creatively assigned Bollywood film titles to various Indian cricketers, including the renowned Virat Kohli.
Bollywood Titles for Cricketers
During this amusing interaction, Gambhir showcased his playful side by linking cricketers—both legendary and contemporary—with iconic movie titles. For Virat Kohli, he selected “Shahenshah,” which translates to “Emperor,” highlighting Kohli’s commanding presence on the field.
Gambhir’s choices for other players were equally intriguing. He referred to Yuvraj Singh as “Badshah” (King) and humorously labeled himself as the “Angry Young Man.” Sachin Tendulkar was given the title “Dabang” (Fearless), while Jasprit Bumrah earned the moniker “Khiladi” (Player), with Gambhir emphasizing that Bumrah’s title held significant weight among all those mentioned.
Recognition for Rahul Dravid
Rahul Dravid also received special mention during this segment; Gambhir honored him with the title of “Mr. Perfectionist,” acknowledging Dravid’s remarkable precision and reliability throughout his career.
Notable Absences Spark Curiosity
Interestingly, cricket fans noted that Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni were absent from this playful list of titles. Their omission raised eyebrows among enthusiasts who closely follow Indian cricket.
A New Era: Coach-Gambhir and Kohli Unite
As India’s newly appointed head coach, Gautam Gambhir has already addressed his relationship with star player Virat Kohli. In his inaugural press conference as head coach, he expressed that both he and Kohli share a unified vision aimed at elevating India’s stature in international cricket—suggesting a resolution to any previous tensions stemming from their IPL 2023 disagreements.
With India gearing up for an important Test series against Bangladesh set to commence on September 19th, all eyes are on Virat Kohli’s eagerly awaited return to Test cricket. After missing out on five Tests against England earlier this year due to injury concerns, Kohli is back in action—a development that significantly strengthens India’s red-ball team dynamics.
His inclusion in the 16-member squad alongside Rishabh Pant—who is making a comeback after nearly two years away from competitive play—adds invaluable experience and depth as India aims for a strong start in this two-match series against Bangladesh.
As anticipation builds around these developments within Team India under Gautam Gambhir’s leadership, fans remain hopeful about witnessing thrilling performances on the field once again.
