It was announced today that former World Cup-winning opening batter Gautam Gambhir will be taking on the role of head coach for the Indian men's cricket team. This position was previously held by Rahul Dravid, who stepped down after India's recent T20 World Cup victory in the Americas.
In a statement, BCCI secretary Jay Shah expressed his excitement for Gambhir's appointment, saying "It is with immense pleasure that I welcome Mr. Gautam Gambhir as the new Head Coach of the Indian Cricket Team. Modern-day cricket has evolved rapidly, and Gautam has witnessed this changing landscape up close." Shah also acknowledged Gambhir's vast experience and clear vision for the team, stating that he is the ideal candidate to lead Indian cricket forward.
Gambhir, who is 42 years old, was a key member of the 2011 ODI World Cup-winning Indian team and has also had success as a captain in the Indian Premier League. He led the Kolkata Knight Riders to victory in 2012 and 2014, and most recently served as a mentor for the team when they won the IPL title in 2024.
The BCCI fully supports Gambhir as he takes on this new and highly sought-after coaching role. With his extensive knowledge of the game and his experience in various roles throughout his career, Gambhir is ready to guide the Indian team to even greater success.
