The wait for Indian cricket to find out who the Rahul Dravid’s successor as the men’s team’s head coach would be, is likely to end soon, with Gautam Gambhir reportedly all set to take up the responsibility. Gambhir’s name has been doing rounds in the Indian cricketing spectrum, with his impressive stint as mentor for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 franchise seeing his stocks rise. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also seemed to be interested in a host of big Australian names, as well as other IPL coaches like Stephen Fleming and Andy Flower, for the role of head coach of the Indian team, but it’s Gambhir who seems to be ahead of the rest.
Gambhir’s name started getting discussed as KKR produced an emphatic performance in the league stage of the IPL 2024, finishing as the No. 1 side. A few games later, the Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final to take the title home. After the final, Gambhir also had a lengthy chat BCCI secretary Jay Shah.
