Afghanistan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz credits India head coach Gautam Gambhir with helping improve his approach ahead of a century against India. Multiple reports say Gurbaz discussed his batting with Gambhir after a prior Test match loss, and Gambhir advised him on shot selection. Gurbaz then applied that guidance during the innings where he scored a major century against India, which was described as a standout performance even though Afghanistan’s overall team total was not large. The coverage notes that the conversation focused on how Gurbaz should choose shots and bat with a clearer plan, and that this change contributed to his success. While the articles highlight Gurbaz’s individual milestone, they do not attribute Afghanistan’s full match outcome to the coaching exchange, focusing instead on the impact it had on his batting decisions during the century. Both sources present the account as a direct link between the post-defeat discussion and Gurbaz’s improved execution in the match against India.
