Gautam Gambhir: At this time, all the Indian cricket fans have their eyes on BCCI. Actually, the next head coach after Rahul Dravid is going to be announced soon. If the news coming for some time is to be believed, then Gautam Gambhir is the main contender for this post.

Some media organizations even claimed that the name of the former Indian opener is about to be finalized. However, according to the information received on social media, BCCI is not going to give this responsibility to Gambhir but to another veteran cricketer. Let us know the complete news in detail.

BCCI made this veteran the head coach

The Indian team will tour Zimbabwe after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. A five-match T20 series will be played between these two teams. The country's leading media institution Times of India has claimed that former legendary Indian cricketer VVS Laxman will accompany Team India on this tour as the head coach.

Let us tell you that he has already gone on various tours with the Indian team in the role of interim coach many times. Laxman had guided the players during the 2023 Asian Games held in China.

Gautam Gambhir will take over the responsibility from this series

According to the Times of India report, VVS Laxman will be the head coach of Team India on the Zimbabwe tour. Gautam Gambhir will take over this big responsibility from the three ODI and three T20 match series against Sri Lanka in July.

His tenure will be from July 2024 to December 2027. During this period, some big tournaments like ICC Champions Trophy 2025, World Test Championship 2025, 2026 T20 World Cup and 2027 ODI World Cup will be played.

This will be the first big task in front of Gambhir

If Gautam Gambhir becomes the head coach of the Indian team, then first of all he will have the responsibility of making a good squad in all three formats. Apart from this, the Indian team management will expect Gambhir to groom as many young players as possible and make them mature players.
