Gautam Gambhir Frontrunner to Replace Rahul Dravid as India's T20 Coach
India's esteemed head coach, Rahul Dravid, has announced his departure from the role after the upcoming T20 World Cup in the US and West Indies. This decision marks the end of Dravid's tenure, which began in November 2021.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has initiated the search for Dravid's successor, with former India teammate Gautam Gambhir emerging as the frontrunner. Gambhir's credentials include his successful stint as captain of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), leading the franchise to two IPL titles in 2012 and 2014.
Gambhir's interest in the coaching role is evident, as he has expressed his desire to guide the Indian team. "I would love to coach the Indian team. There is no bigger honour than coaching your national team," Gambhir stated.
The BCCI's decision to consider Gambhir is based on his impressive record as a player and his understanding of the game. As a member of India's T20 World Cup and ODI World Cup-winning teams, Gambhir brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table.
While Dravid's departure will leave a void in the Indian coaching setup, the BCCI is confident that Gambhir possesses the necessary qualities to lead the team to future success. His appointment would mark a new chapter in Indian cricket, with the former opener tasked with continuing the team's dominance on the international stage.
