India’s men’s cricket team head coach, Gautam Gambhir, visited the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati on Tuesday, September 3, to seek blessings as the team prepares for an important home season. The Indian team is set to face Bangladesh in a two-match Test series starting on September 19 in Chennai.
Gautam Gambhir, who was appointed as head coach on July 9, 2024, succeeded Rahul Dravid, who led India to a historic victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup in Barbados. Since taking over, Gambhir has experienced a mix of successes and challenges. In his first assignment, India achieved a clean sweep in the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka but faced difficulties in the 50-over format. The team lost the ODI series 0-2, with one match ending in a tie, marking Sri Lanka’s first ODI bilateral series win against India in 27 years.

After the tour of Sri Lanka, which concluded on August 7, both the staff and players have been enjoying a well-deserved break. A few days ago, Gambhir shared pictures on Instagram of himself and his wife enjoying a vacation. Now, with the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, Gambhir’s visit to the Kamakhya Temple highlights his commitment to seeking divine support as India gears up for this crucial home series.
The Test series against Bangladesh will be Gambhir’s first major challenge in the longer format as head coach, and the team will be looking to bounce back strongly under his guidance.
