On May 6, 2025, Gautam Gambhir, who is the head coach of the Indian cricket team, addressed the ABP Network’s India@2047 Summit to elaborate on India’s successful Champions Trophy 2025 campaign. The summit was organized to facilitate discussion around India’s future in several different sectors, and Gambhir was given a session as part of the sporting fraternity. The session was entitled "All for One, One for All," as Gambhir shared the underlying theme that resulted in India’s success in the prestigious tournament, which drew a lot of appreciation and chatter amongst fans. 

In his address, Gambhir pointed to the players' collective effort and genuine unity as the true contributors to the Champions Trophy victory. He expressed that the win was not a singular player’s brilliance but was solely based on the tireless commitment of every player, support staff, and fan, who held the team together. Gambhir was sure to emphasize that the reason for India's success was consistent performances in tough moments, and very many voices on social media noted his articulated focus on teamwork rather than star culture. His remarks came as a subtle response to ongoing debates, including Sunil Gavaskar’s recent comments questioning Gambhir’s approach to the tournament’s reward distribution.

Gambhir won the Champions Trophy 2025 win, which was huge news, as he took over in 2024 at the age of 42, being the youngest in the history of Indian cricket to take the role. However, his journey hasn’t been without scrutiny. At the summit, Gambhir also addressed critics head-on, defending his contributions to Indian cricket and taking a dig at former players who, in his words, treat the sport as their “personal fiefdom.” The fans embraced Gambhir’s honesty, liking his no-nonsense approach to leadership and hence sporting culture based upon merit.
