BCCI secretary Jay Shah has given confirmation that Gautam Gambhir will become the new head coach for the Indian team. He made this official through a post from his official ‘X’ account. Gambhir will be taking over as the successor of legendary cricketer Rahul Dravid.
“It is with immense pleasure that I welcome Mr @GautamGambhir 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. Having endured the grind and excelled in various roles throughout his career, I am confident that Gautam is the ideal person to steer Indian Cricket forward. His clear vision for #TeamIndia, coupled with his vast experience, positions him perfectly to take on this exciting and most sought-after coaching role. The @BCCI fully supports him as he embarks on this new journey,” Jay Shah tweeted.
Gambhir will start his tenure with the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. The three ODIs and three T20Is will be his first assignment as the Indian head coach. India are the current T20 World Champions and Gambhir will most likely lead the team forward for even more achievements.
