Mitchell Starc Praises Gambhir's Tactical Brilliance

Australia's fast bowler, Mitchell Starc, has praised the tactical prowess of Gautam Gambhir, the coach of the Indian cricket team. Starc described Gambhir as a brilliant strategist who prioritizes team objectives and leverages tactical adjustments in technique and field placements for competitive advantage.

During this year's Indian Premier League, Starc collaborated with Gambhir, who served as a mentor for the Kolkata Knight Riders. Under Gambhir's leadership, KKR experienced a dominant season, securing the championship after a ten-year hiatus.

Starc noted, "In my time at Kolkata, Gautam proved to be a game strategist, always analyzing opponents to devise effective bowling or batting strategies." The investment in Starc, Rs 24.75 crore by KKR, paid off during the knockout stages despite his average performance in the league. The upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy will see Starc and Gambhir on opposing sides.
