It is hardly hidden from anyone how passionate and passionate Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir is. Be it on the field or outside the field, his attitude mostly remains sharp. Not only through his words but also through his actions, he is often seen ready to do anything for the country or the team.

But can he come out to bat in the final of T20 World Cup 2026? Indian team captain Suryakumar Yadav says that if Gambhir has his way, he is ready for this also.

Before the World Cup final against New Zealand to be held on March 8, Indian captain Suryakumar made this statement in a humorous manner. During the press conference on Saturday, a day before the match, when questions were raised about the team's style and approach, Surya said that coach Gambhir has given full importance to every player and has kept personal achievements behind. This same discussion was going on when Surya gave this statement about Gambhir.

The Indian captain said that if it was left to coach Gambhir, he would pack his pads and go out to play himself because his mantra is that everyone has to contribute something. Describing Gambhir's thinking, Surya said that Tilak Verma's 21 runs off 7 balls (semi-final) has the same importance as any century. The Indian captain said that he adopts the mindset of thinking for the team instead of himself and only by doing so the target can be achieved.

Apart from this, Surya also mentioned former Indian captain and last T20 World Cup winner Rohit Sharma.

The Indian captain said that he is following in Rohit's footsteps and applies whatever he learned while playing with him and also brings his own ideas to the field.

Anyway, this final is going to be very special not only for Team India but also for Coach Gambhir. If the Indian team wins this final, then it will become the first team to become T20 World Champion for 2 consecutive times and 3 times in total. Gautam Gambhir will also get a special achievement. He will also become the first Indian head coach to win 2 ICC tournaments. Last year itself, Team India won the Champions Trophy under Gambhir's coaching.

Not only this, he will also become the first cricketer to win 2-2 ICC tournaments as a player and coach.
