India crushed New Zealand by a huge margin and you saw how dominant the team looked. Fans and Trollers praised the players and staff. But many online voices went too far and made Gautam Gambhir look like the only reason.
Gautam Gambhir Gets All the Credit
You now see several cricket pages claiming Gambhir gave full freedom to the players. They say this mindset led to fearless cricket. While that helped the mood in the camp it did not create the players.
Players Already Played This Way
You know players like Abhishek Sharma always played attacking cricket. They grew up with this style and carried it into the Indian team. Gambhir did not change their batting DNA.
The Team Was Already Changing
You also need to remember what happened after the 2022 T20WC loss. Rohit Sharma pushed a new aggressive approach. That shift made India stronger in T20Is even before Gambhir took charge.
Mixed Claims About Records
Some now say India has not lost a T20I series under Gambhir. That claim ignores the work done before his arrival. The team was already on a winning path.
Credit and Blame Must Match
You should give Gambhir credit for wins. But you should not turn every success into his story. If he takes praise he also needs to accept blame for the weak Test and ODI form.
