Gautam Gambhir as Potential Head Coach of Team India
The post of head coach of the Indian cricket team is currently in discussion. Currently, Rahul Dravid is playing the role of coach, but Dravid’s tenure will end after the T20 World Cup 2024 in June. In such a situation, Team India and BCCI are searching for a new head coach.
Former Indian cricket team batsman and Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir is being eyed as the next head coach. But is Shahrukh Khan stopping Gambhir from becoming the head coach of Team India? Such discussions are colorful.
Gautam Gambhir’s Commitment to KKR
Gautam Gambhir has become the Mentor of Kolkata. Under the guidance of Gambhir, the team also reached the finals of the tournament. In such a situation, KKR will not want to let Gambhir go at all, and to become the head coach of Team India, he will have to leave other teams.
Meanwhile, Gautam Gambhir has not yet applied for the head coach post. The biggest reason for Gambhir not applying for the post was his current stint with KKR. Kolkata has won two trophies under Gambhir’s leadership. Now under his Mentorship, the team is very close to becoming champion.
