Gautam Gambhir Head Coach: Gautam Gambhir has made a great start as the coach of Team India. Under his leadership, the Indian team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, defeated Sri Lanka 3-0 in the three-match T20 series. KKR also won the IPL 2024 title under Gambhir's captaincy.
Gambhir got this responsibility after Rahul Dravid's decision to step down as coach after the T20 World Cup. However, former Indian cricketer and 2007 T20 World Cup winner Joginder Sharma feels that Gambhir will not be able to remain in the post of head coach for long.
This is what Joginder Sharma said…
Joginder Sharma says that Gautam Gambhir may have differences with his players. He said during Shubhankar Mishra's podcast, 'Gautam Gambhir is going to take over the captaincy of the team but I believe that Gautam Gambhir will not stay for long. Because Gautam Gambhir has some of his own decisions. It is possible that he may have differences with a player. I am not talking about Virat Kohli.
Gautam Gambhir's decisions are often such that others do not like them. Joginder, who bowled the last over in India's T20 World Cup victory in 2007, said, 'Gautam Gambhir is a straight talker. He does not whisper to anyone. Gautam Gambhir is not a sycophant. We are the ones who give him credit.' He does his work with complete honesty, with great dedication.
Will handle responsibility till 2027
Gautam Gambhir has been given the responsibility of the head coach of the Indian cricket team till 2027. The Indian team has to play four ICC events during this period. This also includes the World Cup to be held in 2027. Gambhir is making big changes in the Indian team. Rohit and Kohli have retired from T20. Team India will soon have to find a new captain in ODIs and Tests as well. Because of this, Gambhir has a big responsibility.
