Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh gave due credit to Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief of the BCCI selection committee Ajit Agarkar for the recent success of the unit. This came during a charity event in London, which was attended by the Indian team.

Stars like Ashish Nehra, Brian Lara, Chris Gayle, Ravi Shastri, Sachin Tendulkar, and Kevin Pietersen praised the Indian team's series comeback on the occasion.

Yuvraj Singh, one of Shubman Gill's early teachers, spent the majority of the evening highlighting the contributions of head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar to the Indian players' encouraging performances.

“Agarkar and Gautam don’t get enough credit when the team does well. They get criticized when the team loses. Since Agarkar has come in as chief selector, India have played the final of the ODI World Cup, won the T20 World Cup, won the Champions Trophy, and now they have created history at Edgbaston. Both of them are doing great work,” Yuvraj said at the gala dinner organized by the YOUWECAN foundation.

Additionally, Yuvraj stated that Rishabh Pant and Gill are both performing admirably for the Indian team. Yuvraj Singh, who has mentored Shubman Gill from his younger days, lauded the India Test captain, for his current batting form.

“I have seen Gill’s growth. He was always the hardest worker in a team. He has taken the responsibility of Test captaincy head-on, and he is the perfect man for the job. I must say Rishabh has been fantastic because of the way he has come back from the accident and is now part of this leadership group,” he added.
