Watch: Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir visits Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati

NEW DELHI: Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday visited the famous Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati and offered prayers.

Gambhir's visit to the temple comes amid Team India's one and a half month break from international cricket after the tour of Sri Lanka.

Surrounded by security personnel, Gambhir was captured by the media persons in the temple premises as a priest guided him around.

Before the break, Gambhir took over the head coach role of the Indian team and the tour of Sri Lanka was his first assignment.

In Sri Lanka, India won the 3-match T20I series 3-0 but suffered a 0-2 loss in the ODI leg of the tour.

The new season for India and Gambhir begins with the Test series against Bangladesh at home starting September 19.

Earlier, former South Africa fast bowling great Morne Morkel joined Gambhir's back-room staff as the new bowling coach in the Indian team.

The 39-year-old Morkel was Gambhir's primary choice, having worked with him at Lucknow Super Giants.
