‘Har venue pe aate ho, kaise manage kar paate:Gautam Gambhir’s rare interaction with fan before IND vs SA clash

Gautam Gambhir is known for having a serious persona and rarely lets out his emotions. But in a rare video, the Team India head coach was seen interacting with fans who had turned up to attend a training session of the Men in Blue in Ahmedabad. India will take on South Africa in what promises to be a fascinating Super 8 contest at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This is a rematch of last edition’s final where India had emerged victorious in a thriller. Gautam Gambhir interacts with fans during India’s training session In the video, which has gone viral on social media, Gambhir was seen interacting with fans on the sidelines of India’s training session. The head coach walked up to the fans and, while signing autographs, asked one of them, “Arey yaar har venue pe aate ho, kaise manage kar paate ho?” (You visit every venue, how do you manage it). After acknowledging the fan’s consistent presence at every venue for India’s matches, Gambhir went on to ask him where he stayed. And the fan replied, saying that he had stayed in a hotel. Suryakumar Yadav defends Abhishek Sharma amid poor form Meanwhile, India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav came out in support of Abhishek Sharma while talking about the opener’s poor form in the T20 World Cup so far. Abhishek, the No 1 ranked T20I batter, has had a hat-trick of ducks to his name and was backed by the skipper to find form.
“Jo log chinta kar rahe hai unke liye main chinta karta hu ki Abhishek ki form ke liye itna chinta kyu kar rahe hai,” he said. (I am worried about the people who are worrying about Abhishek Sharma. I am more concerned for the teams that will face him later. He did everything last year, now it’s time for us to return the favour.) India undefeated so far in T20 World Cup India are among the four teams in the Super 8 stage who are undefeated so far. The Men in Blue registered wins over the USA, Namibia, arch-rivals Pakistan and the Netherlands in the group stage. Interestingly, India’s group in the Super 8 stage features all the unbeaten teams in the tournament so far–West Indies, Zimbabwe and South Africa. When asked about his thoughts on the same, Suryakumar said that he would have liked to tweak it if he could. “Sir, I don’t know anything about this pre seedings, who does it. Definitely, as I also said during the last PC, if I am in that situation, I will definitely try and tweak it,” he said.
