India T20 WC Win Is A Moment Of Redemption For Gambhir: Paranjape

BCCI Cricket Advisory Committee: India's triumph in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup was not only a landmark achievement for the Suryakumar Yadav-led side but also a moment of redemption for head coach Gautam Gambhir, said former India cricketer and national selector Jatin Paranjape.

Gambhir, who succeeded Rahul Dravid as head coach following India's T20 World Cup victory in 2024, had faced mounting criticism in the run-up to the tournament after a difficult run in other formats - India lost a Test series 2-0 to South Africa and suffered a 2-1 to New Zealand in an ODI series.

But at the same time, India claimed the 2025 ODI Champions Trophy and the T20 Asia Cup under Gambhir's coaching, and Sunday's triumph added a second consecutive ICC title against his name. With two ICC white-ball trophies in as many years, Gambhir now stands as the most successful head coach in the history of Indian men's cricket.
