'He'll be gone if he doesn't win'

"Gambhir is hard to like, and that doesn't help. He's very spiky, and I am not sure what he's like in the dressing room. If you have got very little ego as an India coach, you've got a chance to succeed. He'll be gone if he doesn't win this World Cup. But I also admire him for the way he has gone about coaching. He was a prickly character, a prickly player, and a stubborn player," Harmison said on the 'talkSport Cricket' YouTube channel.

"He has gone into his coaching without the Indian greats. Instead, he has gone in with Morne Morkel and Ryan ten Doeschate, who, in his eyes, are the best coaches for his way of managing the group. He's loyal to the people he wants to be around, and I admire that about him. The sign of a good coach is admitting when he's wrong and putting it right. It's also one who looks himself in the mirror and says this is not going to work and I need to change the course of this ship. That's something I don't think he's strong at," Harmison explained.

Can India Win T20 WC? 

Following the big win against Zimbabwe, Team India are very much back in the race for the title. They now take on West Indies in their final Super 8 game in Kolkata. If India win that, they go through to the final four.
