Hindustan Times  

As things stand now, uncertainty is the only certainty in India's white-ball approach under head coach Gautam Gambhir. And that, sooner rather than later, might come back to hurt Team India in some way or another, feels Gambhir's former teammate and the highest wicket-taker of India in the 2011 ODI World Cup Zaheer Khan. India's captain Rohit Sharma speaks with head coach Gautam Gambhir during a practice session India have used different opening combinations, different batters at No.3 and so on in pretty much every match of the T20Is and ODIs against England. So you've got to be prepared to deal with that situation," Zaheer told Cricbuzz when he was asked to point out the difference between former coach Rahul Dravid's approach and Gambhir's. ‘Recency bias is very strong now’: Zaheer on difference between Dravuid and Gambhir The former India left-arm who replaced Gambhir as Lucknow Super Giants mentor after the latter moved to Kolkata Knight Riders and then to Team India, said the coach, captain, selectors and the players need to be on the same page for this approach to function smoothly and there needs to be crystal clear communication among all of them.
