Coach Gambhir under pressure as India aim for back-to-back T20 triumphs

NEW DELHI, India: Holders India will enter the T20 World Cup as firm favorites on home soil, but coach Gautam Gambhir faces intense scrutiny under the weight of expectation from a billion-plus fans. India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, will begin their campaign against the United States at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. It will round off the opening day of the tournament’s 10th edition, which has been marred by a chaotic build-up. Bangladesh last month refused to play in India, citing security concerns, and were kicked out to be replaced by Scotland.
