According to reports, Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir is poised to take on the role of Team India’s next head coach.
A “very high-profile owner of an IPL franchise, who is very close to the BCCI top brass,” reportedly informed Cricbuzz that Gambhir’s appointment as India’s coach is imminent, with an official announcement expected soon.
Furthermore, a “high-profile commentator” also indicated to the same source that significant efforts are underway to secure the services of the KKR mentor.
If Gambhir agrees to the deal, the IPL 2024-winning mentor will need to resign from his position at KKR to assume the coaching responsibilities, succeeding Rahul Dravid after the T20 World Cup.
