Kapil Dev: Gambhir is a Manager, Not a Coach; Redefines Modern Cricket Role

• Kapil Dev stated Gautam Gambhir is a "manager," not a "coach," amidst criticism of Gambhir's working style after India's 0-2 Test series defeat to South Africa.
• Kapil believes the term 'coach' is misunderstood; a modern head coach's role is primarily about "managing" players and providing comfort, especially to those not performing well.
• He emphasized that a manager's job is to give encouragement and confidence to underperforming players, a philosophy he followed as captain.

Why It Matters: Kapil Dev redefines the modern cricket coach's role as a manager focused on player comfort and confidence.
