Mustafa Moudi : "Unpopular Opinion: Despite all the positive reactions to Gambhir's appointment as the Head Coach, I have a few reservations. Firstly, he is too young. Dont remember anyone getting the role at this age of 42. Secondly, he is more biased towards those with whom he has worked with KKR earlier - Abhishek Nayar, Ryan ten Doeschate, Morne Morkel and SKY, indicating his resistance to work with new people !!" There is no "resistance" as far as I know. And I think Kapil Dev was a bit younger when he was the India head coach.

Siraj to Avishka Fernando, out Caught by Arshdeep Singh!! Change in format and Siraj strikes early. That is a really poor shot from Fernando. What was he trying to do? Full pitcher and swinging away, the line is outside off and Fernando tries to flick it from there, Avishka Fernando c Arshdeep Singh b Siraj 1(7)

Karthick : "Karthick from Sydney: The youngest person to coach and international team was Waqar Younis when he did in 2010- he was 38yrs and 105days old. Kapil Dev became the head coach of the Indian national cricket team in September 1999 when he was 40 years old. "

Shenal: "Typical wicket-taking ball with Avishka would be left-armer taking it away"
