Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has praised India head coach Gautam Gambhir, calling his role the “hardest job after the Prime Minister.” The remark followed a meeting in Nagpur ahead of the first T20I against New Zealand. Tharoor shared a photo on X and said Gambhir faces constant public scrutiny but remains calm. He described Gambhir as an old friend and praised his leadership. Responding on X, Gambhir thanked Tharoor for the support and said debates around a coach’s authority would settle with time. The five-match T20I series is part of India’s build-up to the T20 World Cup 2026. (PC: X)
