Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi responded to the news of Gautam Gambhir's appointment as the head coach of the Indian men's cricket team. The BCCI announced on Tuesday, July 9, that Gambhir would lead the team until the 2027 ODI World Cup, beginning with the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka later this month. Afridi, who has had on-field disagreements with Gambhir in the past, shared his candid opinion, stating that Gambhir is "very straightforward" and has the potential to excel in his new role.
