Gautam Gambhir is at the top of the discussion after making Kolkata Knight Riders the champion of IPL after 10 years as a mentor. This time he is going to take a big responsibility. Speculations are rife that BCCI is making him the head coach of the Indian national team. India’s World Cup-winning opener fueled that further. He said that he would love to be the coach of the Indian team and there is no greater honor than that.
At an event for children in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, Gambhir said, ‘It would be great to be the coach of the Indian team. There is no greater honor than being the coach of the country. You represent 140 crore Indians. When you represent India, what can be more proud than that.’
However, it is not clear whether Gambhir has applied to become a coach or not. The Indian Cricket Board has set the application deadline for becoming a coach till May 27.
Kolkata won the trophy in the IPL final the day before the application deadline. Then BCCI Secretary Jai Shah met him. This incident fueled the rumors of him becoming a coach.
Rahul Dravid will be the coach till T20 World Cup. After that, his duty is over. The board has started looking for a new coach. The board has also informed about the duties to be performed and what experience is required for the coach of the Indian team. In their terms, it can be assumed that they want to coach anyone in the country. The fact that Gambhir has stepped forward and is interested has renewed his fans’ enthusiasm.
