Bharat Arun Praises Gautam Gambhir's Coaching Style: 'He is a Tough Taskmaster Who Defines the Process'

Gautam Gambhir’s coaching philosophy, characterized by clear processes and player freedom, has been lauded by former India bowling coach Bharat Arun. Arun, who previously worked with Gambhir during his tenure as mentor for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, highlighted the head coach's ability to empower individuals while maintaining high standards. Arun described Gambhir as a "tough taskmaster" who meticulously defines the team's objectives but trusts players to execute those plans using their own methods. This approach is credited with helping the Indian team evolve into a formidable T20 unit, leveraging the experience gained by players in the high-pressure environment of the Indian Premier League. Gambhir took over as India’s head coach following the 2024 T20 World Cup and has overseen a period of dominance in T20 Internationals. Arun emphasized that the IPL provides the highest standard of competitive cricket globally, preparing players to perform alongside the game's greats and ultimately contributing significantly to the national team's success.
