It’s only been a few months since Gautam Gambhir took over as India’s head coach, but the results speak volumes. With India’s commanding 48-run victory over Australia in the fourth T20I, the team secured a 2-1 series lead—and extended its perfect record: India has not lost a single T20I bilateral series under Gambhir. This streak isn’t just about wins; it’s about identity, discipline, and a clear tactical vision that’s rapidly transforming India’s white-ball cricket.
Since taking charge in mid-2025, Gautam Gambhir has overseen three bilateral T20I series—and won them all:
That’s a 100% series win rate in bilateral contests. More impressively, India has shown resilience in high-pressure games—beating top-tier opposition not through individual heroics, but through structured, team-first cricket.
The 4th T20I in the Australia series was a microcosm of India’s new approach:
Australia, in contrast, crumbled to 119 all out—their lowest total of the tour.
Gambhir’s influence is evident in three core areas:

The synergy between captain Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir is palpable. Both are aggressive thinkers who value innovation within structure. SKY’s on-field decisions—like using Sundar in high-leverage overs—mirror Gambhir’s pre-match planning. Their shared vision has eliminated the reactive, panic-driven cricket that plagued past Indian sides in tight games.
With the T20 World Cup on the horizon, India’s unbeaten run under Gambhir is a massive confidence booster. They’ve proven they can:
If this trend continues, India will enter the tournament not just as favorites—but as the most complete T20 unit in the world.
“India undefeated under Gambhir” isn’t just a statistic—it’s a statement of intent. In a short span, Gambhir has instilled process-driven cricket, tactical intelligence, and mental resilience into the squad. The win over Australia wasn’t an anomaly; it was the latest chapter in a new era of Indian cricket—one built on consistency, clarity, and collective belief. And if history is any guide, this is only the beginning.
