Gautam Gambhir: Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir was recently spotted at the Mumbai airport ahead of the upcoming 2025 Asia Cup. The 43-year-old opted for a casual look, pairing a solid black t-shirt with a pair of light-washed denim.
A few paparazzi photographers were filming Gambhir as he walked towards the airport gate. On being asked to look towards the camera, the cricketer-turned-coach responded by saying:
“Arey bass (that’s it).”

“I will remove you from the team only if you have scored 21 ducks” – Sanju Samson reveals Gautam Gambhir’s backing after twin failures in Sri Lanka
Team India’s wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson recently revealed how head coach Gautam Gambhir supported him during India’s three-match away T20I series against Sri Lanka in 2024.
Samson was dismissed for ducks in the second and third T20Is. He mentioned that he was disappointed with the failures and thought it would cost him a place in the side.
The stumper recalled that Gambhir assured him that he would not get dropped from the team till he got 21 ducks. Speaking in an interview with Indian spin legend Ravichandran Ashwin, Samson said:
“I played two matches in Sri Lanka after that, I was out for ducks in both matches. The memories of being in and out of the team started flooding in, and I thought that was it. I was a bit down in the dressing room, and Gauti bhai saw it. He came up to me, and asked what happened, I told him I did not capitalise on the chance that I got. He was like, ‘So? I will remove you from the team only if you have scored 21 ducks’.”
Meanwhile, the Indian selectors are expected to announce the 2025 Asia Cup squad next week.
