Ending a glorious era, Team India stands on the brink of a transition phase. Under Shubman Gill’s captaincy, the Indian side is set to enter a new arena, aiming to carry on the rich legacy.

As the side has undergone some major changes, a new member has joined the squad. Adrian Le Roux joined the side as the strength and conditioning coach, and Gambhir’s warm words of praise for him are winning hearts.

After a brief break, Team India is returning to the longest format, marking the beginning of the new WTC cycle under Shubman Gill’s captaincy. With the team undergoing a major transformation, they’ve welcomed a fresh face. Adrian Le Roux steps in as the new strength and conditioning coach, succeeding Soham Desai.

After serving India in 2002-2003, he’s back once again. A key chapter of his journey was his long stint with the Kolkata Knight Riders from 2008 to 2019. While welcoming him, Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir hails his professionalism as the duo spend a long time together at the KKR camp.

“I have worked with him for seven years at KKR, and he is an unbelievable professional,” Gambhir said.
