As the rumors have been floating in the past few days over the appointment of India’s next head coach, it has been finally confirmed that former cricketer Gautam Gambhir will be the next coach of the India men’s cricket team.
“It is with immense pleasure that I welcome Mr @GautamGambhir as the new Head Coach of the Indian Cricket Team. Modern-day cricket has evolved rapidly, and Gautam has witnessed this changing landscape up close. Having endured the grind and excelled in various roles throughout his career, I am confident that Gautam is the ideal person to steer Indian Cricket forward,” tweeted Jay Shah, secretary of BCCI.
It would be interesting to see how Gambhir handles the team, as the tenure of legendary cricketer Rahul Dravid is finished, and Gambhir’s equation with Virat Kohli would be interesting to see.
The former Indian opening batter Gautam Gambhir tweeted that “India is my identity and serving my country has been the greatest privilege of my life. I’m honoured to be back, albeit wearing a different hat. But my goal is the same as it has always been, to make every Indian proud. The men in blue shoulder the dreams of 1.4 billion Indians and I will do everything in my power to make these dreams come true! “.
