‘He is very clear’

We have talked about the shortcomings of the team, about the good things and what the team needs. There has been a discussion on how to take the team forward.’
‘He tells a lot of jokes’
Gautam is considered a very serious person. But Rohit said about the new coach, ‘Gautam bhai does a lot of funny things in the dressing room, tells a lot of jokes. I don’t think we should talk about his personal personality like whether he laughs or not. Everyone has his own way.’ Gambhir has been made the head coach in place of Rahul Dravid. Dravid’s coaching tenure was the T20 World Cup.
