Gautam Gambhir: The mystery of who will be the next head coach of Team India has not been solved yet. In fact, BCCI has not made any official announcement yet. The tenure of former Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid, who currently holds this post, is going to end after the T20 World Cup 2024.

For some time now, there have been reports on social media that Gautam Gambhir could become India's next head coach. However, according to former veteran player Anil Kumble, this decision will not be in the interest of Indian cricket. In fact, he has not said that Gambhir is fit for this role.

Let us know the whole incident in detail.

Kumble gave a shocking statement on Gautam Gambhir

There are reports of Gautam Gambhir being made the next head coach of the Indian team.

However, this has not been confirmed as there has been no official announcement yet. Fans on social media believe that Gambhir will be a perfect fit for this role. There were reports quoting sources that the BCCI had also contacted the former opener for this.

However, former Indian cricket legend Anil Kumble believes that appointing Gambhir as the head coach would not be a good decision. In fact, during a program on ESPN Cricinfo, he said,

"This will be a completely different challenge. You have to give a lot of time to this. He definitely has a lot of potential. We have seen that Gautam has handled many teams. Apart from India, he has also been the captain of many teams like Delhi Capitals, KKR."

He further said in his statement,

“Even though he has a lot of experience, coaching Team India is a different thing. You have to give him time. Even if he becomes the head coach, his job will not only be to look after the present of the team but also to prepare the players for the future.”
