Gautam Gambhir Appointed Head Coach of Indian Men's Cricket Team

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has appointed former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir as the new head coach of the Indian men's cricket team. Gambhir, who was the frontrunner for the position, replaces Rahul Dravid, whose tenure ended after India's T20 World Cup triumph last month.

Gambhir was not the only candidate considered for the role, as the BCCI also interviewed former India batter WV Raman. However, the board ultimately selected Gambhir for his exceptional batting prowess and strategic acumen.

Gambhir's appointment has been met with mixed reactions. Some experts believe that his lack of coaching experience at the international level could be a concern, while others are confident in his ability to lead the team to success.

Gambhir's immediate task will be to prepare the team for the upcoming away series against Sri Lanka, which begins on July 27. The series will consist of three ODIs and three T20Is.

Gambhir's appointment is a significant development for Indian cricket. He is a highly respected figure in the game and his experience and knowledge will be invaluable to the team.
