After the T20 World Cup 2024, Rahul Dravid's tenure with Team India will end. He will resign from the post of head coach. He had refused to extend his contract. In such a situation, BCCI had to start looking for its new head coach. The board had also sought applications for the appointment of the head coach in May 2024. Apart from India, many former players from around the world had shown interest in becoming the coach. But now the player who has won 2 World Cups for Team India can be given the responsibility.

Will be announced after T20 World Cup 2024

• Many Indian veterans had expressed their desire to become the coach, which included the names of Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Gautam Gambhir.
• But Gautam Gambhir was far ahead in this race.
  Many reports have revealed that Gauti is the first choice of BCCI.
• In such a situation, according to the report of Dainik Jagran, Gautam has been made the head coach. He will announce it after the T20 World Cup 2024 i.e. in the last days of June.

Made a big impact in IPL 2024

• KKR brought Gautam back as a mentor in their team for IPL 2024. He also made KKR the champion of the season under his coaching.
• According to media reports, KKR owner Shahrukh Khan had also offered a blank cheque to Gautam Gambhir to continue as the mentor of KKR.
• But Gambhir has made it clear many times in his statements that country comes first for him.
  In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether Gauti chooses the Indian team first or continues his contract with KKR.
• According to BCCI rules, no Indian head coach can be a part of IPL or any franchise in the world during his tenure.

Such was the performance for India

• Gautam Gambhir is the only Indian player to score a half-century with his bat in the T20 World Cup 2007 and ODI World Cup 2011 finals.
• He scored 4154 runs in 58 Test matches for India at an average of 41.95.
  While in 147 ODI matches, Gauti has 5238 runs at an average of 39.68. Apart from this, in 37 T-20 matches, his bat has produced 932 runs at an average of 27.41.
