The BCCI has opened applications for the position of India’s head coach, with Rahul Dravid’s term concluding after the 2024 T20 World Cup. Reports suggest that Gautam Gambhir, the current mentor of KKR, has been contacted by the Indian cricket governing body for this vital role. Additionally, several other notable candidates are also being considered.

Akash Chopra, former opener warned the senior Indian players about Gautam Gambhir’s coaching methods as the veteran star is reportedly approached to become Team India’s head coach.

“Not a bad choice, there is no doubt about that, because he is a straightforward person. He knows how to manage and build a team. I really rate him high when it comes to the auction. However, there will be no auction for the Indian team. Gautam Gambhir, the coach, is a very strong personality,” Chopra said in a video on his YouTube channel.

Gambhir was instrumental in India’s victories at the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, delivering match-winning performances in the finals. Additionally, he made a significant impact as a mentor for the IPL teams Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders.
