- Praising fresh talents like Devdutt Padikkal and Spinner Manav Suthar, Gambhir expressed satisfaction, stating "Extremely satisfying to see these younger players getting an opportunity and them delivering straight away."
- Defending his management style, the coach remarked, "My job is to win trophies, not views and likes," while prioritizing the upcoming match over broader championship concerns.
