Shashi Tharoor meets Gambhir, says India coach has hardest job after PM Modi

On Wednesday, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor praised India head coach Gautam Gambhir, calling him 'The man with the toughest job after PM' following a meeting. Gambhir expressed his gratitude to the esteemed author for his kind words regarding his challenging role as team boss, a position many view as thankless. Tharoor shared his admiration for Gambhir, acknowledging the intense scrutiny he endures, after their encounter in Nagpur before the first T20I of the five-match series against New Zealand at the New VCA Stadium.

Tharoor posted a photo from their meeting on the social media platform X, referring to Gambhir as someone tasked with one of the most demanding roles in the nation, emphasizing the significant scrutiny that accompanies leading the Indian cricket team. He also referred to Gambhir as an old friend.

“In Nagpur, I enjoyed a good and frank discussion with my old friend Gautam Gambhir, the man with the hardest job in India after the PM's!” Tharoor wrote in his post.
