WATCH: Shah Rukh Khan gets emotional after meeting ex-KKR skipper and India's head coach Gautam Gambhir

Newly appointed India's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, had been an integral part of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a brief period, of six years, where he led the team to two titles in 2012 and 2014. He came back to the KKR camp in 2024 as their mentor. Under Gambhir's mentorship and Shreyas Iyer's captaincy, KKR won their third title after a long wait of 10 years.

Meanwhile, after becoming the head coach of the Indian team, Gambhir met KKR's co-owner and Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, at Anant Ambani's wedding. The video went viral on social media, where both of them can be seen meeting and giving each other an emotional hug.

Gambhir is set to take on the responsibilities of the team in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. The Indian cricket team will benefit a lot from Gambhir's inclusion in the team because of his mindset and approach towards the game. However, the Board has yet to announce the names of the other members of the coaching staff. 

India clinch victory over Zimbabwe in final T20I, wins series 4-1

Shubman Gill-led India team travelled to Zimbabwe to play a 5-match T20I series. The young team won the series, 4-1, which was quite a rewarding thing for the players. While the first game was an upset, the team managed to make a good comeback in the rest of the matches. They outplayed Zimbabwe in all the departments of the game and made a few records. 

Moreover, skipper Gill's first series as a captain went on really well as he managed the team really well. He was the highest run-getter in the series with 170 runs in five innings. Even though he played extremely slow in most of the games, he managed to score runs for the team at crucial moments.
