India head coach Gautam Gambhir credited captain Shreyas Iyer for leading the team to a 3-2 T20I series victory against New Zealand despite missing key players.
India played without first-choice bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Harshit Rana, and Washington Sundar, relying instead on younger squad members.
Gambhir defended the team's high-risk, high-reward batting philosophy, stating that aggressive play remains central to their strategy despite occasional losses.
