Gautam Gambhir Not Satisfied Despite India’s Champions Trophy Final Berth

India’s head coach, Gautam Gambhir, is not one to settle easily. Despite his team’s unbeaten run in the tournament, he insists that India is yet to deliver a “perfect game.” As India prepares for the Champions Trophy 2025 final, Gambhir’s focus remains on continuous improvement rather than past victories.

India’s Road to the Final

India stormed into the Champions Trophy final with an impressive four-wicket win over Australia in the semi-finals on Tuesday. Virat Kohli’s composed 84-run knock was instrumental in securing the victory. However, Gambhir, known for his high standards, remains unsatisfied.

“See, in international sport, you want to keep improving. You don’t say that you’ve ticked all the boxes. We still haven’t played a perfect game. “I will never find complete satisfaction in my performances.” – Gautam Gambhir

The Search for Perfection

While India’s performance has been commendable, Gambhir believes there are still areas that need refinement. He expects the team to deliver their best game in the final showdown on Sunday.

Key Areas Gambhir Wants to Improve:

• Consistency in Batting: Kohli’s innings was crucial, but Gambhir wants more contributions from other batters.
• Bowling Precision: While India’s bowlers have delivered under pressure, Gambhir believes they need to be more ruthless.
• Fielding Standards: A few lapses in the field have been noticed, and Gambhir wants a sharper effort in the final.

Senior Players and Future Plans

At some stage, Gambhir is expected to sit down with senior players to discuss their future plans post-Champions Trophy. While the focus remains on winning the tournament, team management is also looking ahead.

Final Showdown Awaits

With an all-win record so far, India has momentum on their side. However, Gambhir’s unwavering demand for perfection means the team won’t be complacent in the final.

Can India deliver the flawless performance their coach demands? The answer will unfold in the much-awaited final on Sunday.
