Gautam Gambhir : For the past few days, the name of a new veteran was coming up every day to become the new head coach of Team India, but according to the media reports that came a few hours ago, Gautam Gambhir is going to become the next head coach of Team India.

In such a situation, with Gautam Gambhir becoming the head coach, as per the information received from BCCI officials, the current captain of the team Rohit Sharma may lose his captaincy and in his place, the captaincy of the team in T20 and ODI cricket can now be given to this veteran.

Rohit Sharma is now 37 years old. In such a situation, it will not be easy for Rohit Sharma to participate in the World Cup to be held in South Africa in the year 2027.

In such a situation, Team India's new head coach Gautam Gambhir would like to work with the new captain for Team India's white ball format from the first day of his coaching tenure.

Because of which it is believed that even if captain Rohit Sharma makes Team India the champion in the T20 World Cup 2024, even then the selection committee can take away the captaincy of white ball cricket from Rohit Sharma and give it to some other veteran player.

Hardik Pandya can become the new captain of Team India

Gautam Gambhir can choose Hardik Pandya as the next captain of Team India.

The biggest reason for this is that Hardik Pandya has mostly handled the responsibility of vice-captaincy under Rohit Sharma's captaincy, while on the other hand Hardik Pandya has a long experience of captaining in IPL cricket. Due to which Gautam Gambhir can hand over the responsibility of Team India captain to Hardik Pandya during his coaching tenure.

Rishabh Pant's name can also be considered

If Gautam Gambhir does not want to choose Hardik Pandya as the captain of the team due to his injury, then head coach Gautam Gambhir can also consider the name of Rishabh Pant as the next captain of the team.

Rishabh Pant has been seen captaining Delhi Capitals in IPL cricket for a long time, while Gautam Gambhir and Rishabh Pant have also played a lot of cricket together in domestic cricket. Due to which head coach Gautam Gambhir can also see Rishabh Pant as the next head coach of Team India.
