Karthik said Gambhir바카라s aggression is never unwarranted, something that the players under his tutelage will enjoy.

"His aggression has generally come out in protection of his players and that is something the current lot of players will enjoy. Knowing him, he is not someone who gets angry for the heck of it," Karthik told reporters on the sidelines of a Legends League Cricket event here.

"I'm sure he will have his turn with strong words for whoever it is required, and it is in his best interest to get the best out of the players,바카라 he added.

Karthik, however, said lacking coaching experience in Test cricket could be on Gambhir바카라s mind as he enters his first assignment with the opening match against Bangladesh starting here on Thursday.

"He has been a part of numerous T20 tournaments. But this Test series will be completely new for him as a coach and it must be playing at the back of his mind," Karthik said.

"He is someone who has navigated through tough waters. He's got the acumen to understand the pulse of the game, which is extremely important as a coach.바카라

"He is at a very early stage as a coach, so it will be interesting how it pans out. However, I have confidence that he will deliver on all aspects. So far, it has worked well for him,바카라 Karthik added.

With Bangladesh riding high on confidence having trumped Pakistan in their backyard for a historic 2-0 win, Karthik said the going will remain tough for the Tigers against India.

"It will start with a lot of confidence from Bangladesh. (For India) it's about understanding that they are playing a slightly different Bangladesh team," he said.

"But, India in India is a different kettle of fish to beat. It's not going to be in any way as easy as compared to going outside and beating other countries in their backyard.바카라

"Many teams have come to India and found it challenging and Bangladesh will also find its challenges in the next couple of weeks,바카라 he said.

Karthik said India바카라s grit and resilience will make the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting on November 22 at Perth, a 바카라wonderful series to watch바카라.

"The BGT will be a challenge for Team India. The current Australian team is in form and (is) a pretty well-oiled unit. It's not by chance that they won the World Test Championship,바카라 he said.

"It will be tough for India. But considering the grit and resilience that India has, it will be a wonderful series to watch," he added.
