Mahela Jayawardene, Gautam Gambhir Indian Team Head Coach : Continuous efforts are going on for the next head coach of the Indian team. Names of many former cricketers are coming out as to who can become the coach. Meanwhile, the name of former Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene has also come to light that talks are going on with him too. However, according to the news, Gautam Gambhir is leading in this race.

Even before the T20 World Cup, the exercise for the new coach of Team India has started. Rahul Dravid's tenure is only till the T20 World Cup and that is why BCCI has invited applications for the new coach. This time there is every possibility that a foreigner can become the next head coach of Team India. According to many media reports, Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming and Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting are on the BCCI radar in the IPL. Apart from this, there was also news about Justin Langer that he is also in the race.

Mahela Jayawardene's name also discussed

Now news is coming that Mahela Jayawardene has also entered this race. He has coached Mumbai Indians in IPL and the team was very successful under his coaching. However, former opener Gautam Gambhir is still ahead in the race. Under his leadership, KKR team has reached the finals of IPL 2024.

Gautam Gambhir is at the forefront in the race to become the coach of the team.

Gautam Gambhir won the T20 World Cup title in 2007 and the World Cup title in 2011 for India. He played excellent innings in the finals of both these tournaments. That is why he knows what kind of game is played under pressure in big matches. Apart from this, he had made KKR win the IPL trophy twice under his captaincy and now he has also taken the team to the finals in IPL 2024 under his mentorship. For this reason, Gautam Gambhir's claim for the post of head coach of the Indian team is considered very strong.
