Sri Lanka head coach Gary Kirsten lavished praise on India head coach Gautam Gambhir, who was part of the Indian team when the South African was in charge from 2008 to 2011. "He [Gambhir] is a fantastic coach. He has had incredible success, won two World Cups [2025 Champions Trophy and 2026 T20 World Cup]. He's also had success in the IPL, so his record speaks for itself. I really enjoyed working with him. I knew he'd have success as a coach as well," said Kirsten.
