As Team India gears up to face South Africa, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir’s no-nonsense attitude has once again sparked debate. After the ODI series loss to Australia, Gambhir made a bold statement: “I can never celebrate a series loss.” But what does this really mean for the Indian dressing room? Is it ruthless honesty or a mindset that could divide players? Rupha Ramani decodes Gambhir’s philosophy, his standards, his fire, and his message to every cricketer wearing the Indian jersey. From managing veterans like Rohit and Virat to nurturing young stars like Arshdeep and Washington, is Gambhir’s leadership setting the tone for India’s next big cricketing chapter?

Also on the show, Indian football is in limbo. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) failed to find any commercial partners for the Indian Super League (ISL). Top stars, including Sunil Chhetri, Sandesh Jhingan, and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, have requested an immediate response. The calls for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to step in are growing, too. Will the BCCI intervene? And Richa Ghosh has scripted history. A stadium in her home, Siliguri, will be built and named after her. Watch her reaction to the spotlight she is getting on Firstpost.
