Before the T20 World Cup, Indian cricket was a new speculation. Who will be the coach of Team India after the T20 World Cup is now the question of crores of rupees. The Indian Cricket Board has already advertised for the new coach. The contract with Rahul Dravid as the coach of the Indian team will end after the upcoming T20 World Cup. The contract was terminated after the one-day World Cup last year. Then it was extended until the T20 World Cup. In the past few days, several names have emerged as the next coaches of the Indian team. Gautam Gambhir’s name has been added to that list.
Gautam Gambhir is a former Indian opener. Successful captain in the IPL. He also has over a decade of international cricket experience. Gautam Gambhir was also successful as a mentor to KKR in Lucknow. Although he has no coaching experience, he is quite successful as a mentor. I led the Lucknow Super Giants to the IPL playoffs in the last two seasons as a mentor. Gambhir’s contribution to KKR topping the IPL league table this season is undeniable.
But there are doubts about whether Gambhir will coach the Indian team. Because he has just taken charge of KKR. Gambhir will have to leave KKR after one season. Besides, Gambhir has a special relationship with KKR. Gambhir himself has not said anything, even though the name has come up from various quarters. Incidentally, BCCI wants to sign a contract with the new coach until the next ODI World Cup in 2027. The Indian Cricket Board will appoint the new coach for a period of about three and a half years.
