Gautam Gambhir is leading the race, considering his exceptional track record as a mentor of IPL franchises. He recently helped Kolkata Knight Riders clinch the third IPL title. The Shreyas Iyer-led franchise defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final of the Indian Premier League 2024 in Chennai.
Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh has reacted to the reports of Gambhir replacing the ongoing head coach, Rahul Dravid.
I don’t know whether Gautam Gambhir has applied or not. These are just speculations. Even my name was doing the rounds, but I haven’t submitted my papers. It is not about the names who have applied or not. The main job of the coach would be to bring everyone together and work as a unit. Whether Gambhir or Ashish Nehra coaches the national team, they would need to bring the players on the same page. If I am given the job, I would work in the same direction. The results should improve from the previous team,” Harbhajan Singh told PTI.
Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is not in a hurry. The Men in Blue will get busy in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, and the following two tours of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka will see senior players rested. The coaches from NCA can take on the responsibilities for the new assignments before a permanent coach takes on the role.
