The atmosphere of Team India’s dressing room is in discussion amid T20 World Cup 2026. The reason became a viral video, in which head coach Gautam Gambhir is seen having a serious conversation with young batsman Abhishek Sharma in the team bus. As soon as this video surfaced, various speculations started on social media.
Abhishek Sharma has not looked in his element so far in this tournament. In the group stage, he returned to the pavilion three times in a row without opening the account. In the first match of Super-8, he scored 15 runs in 12 balls, but could not convert the good start into a big innings. In such a situation, questions are being raised about his place. Especially before the important match against Zimbabwe in Chennai, his name remains a topic of discussion.
In the viral clip, Gambhir and Abhishek are seen sitting face to face and having a deep discussion. Later, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate is also seen joining the conversation. The sound is not clear in the video, but looking at the expressions of both, it can be guessed that the discussion was quite serious.

Funny reactions on social media
As soon as the video went viral, fans flooded Xx (formerly Twitter) with funny comments. Someone wrote, “Ask the driver, he would know the whole thing.” So someone jokingly said that perhaps both would be arguing over Masala Dosa and Chole Bhature in Chennai. Some users also speculated that the coach might be advising Abhishek to score big.
However, no official statement has come from the team management regarding this conversation. Cricket experts believe that such personal conversations between coaches and players are normal in big tournaments, especially when the player is struggling with form.
Team India is under pressure
India recently had to face defeat by 76 runs against South Africa, which is considered to be India’s biggest defeat in the T20 World Cup. In such a situation, the next match is very important for the team. Now everyone’s eyes are on whether Abhishek will get a chance in the next match or the team will make any changes. At present, this video of the team bus has become a topic of discussion and fans are trying to find out its meaning in their own way.
