Team India Captain Suryakumar Yadav Leads MI Contingent at Gautam Gambhir's Delhi Residence for Team Dinner
Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir hosted the entire Team India contingent for a dinner at his Delhi residence on Sunday evening, providing a crucial team bonding session ahead of their T20 World Cup 2026 clash against Namibia.
The gathering saw key IPL stars, including captain Suryakumar Yadav (Mumbai Indians) and Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians), arrive in the national capital following their gritty opening victory over the USA at the Wankhede Stadium. This gesture, which Gambhir has repeated during previous home series, underscores the coach's focus on fostering a strong, cohesive unit off the field, which is vital for maintaining morale during a high-pressure global tournament.
With the team now settled in Delhi for their next fixture at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, this informal gathering offers a welcome break from the intensity of the tournament schedule. The opportunity for players and support staff to connect outside the dressing room environment is expected to help the squad maintain focus and unity as they look to extend their winning streak deeper into the competition.
