The speculations are increasing over former India opener Gautam Gambhir’s potential candidature for the head coach position of the Indian cricket team as the Kolkata Knight Riders look to play in the IPL final. In the middle of the rumours swirling around Gambhir’s suitability for the role, reports indicate that he has not yet applied for the esteemed position.
Recent remarks by BCCI secretary Jay Shah have intensified speculation regarding the potential appointment of Gautam Gambhir. Shah’s emphasis on selecting individuals well-versed in the Indian cricket structure has led to speculation that Gambhir, with his deep understanding of the game, could emerge as a frontrunner for the position.
While there has been no formal proposal from the board to Gambhir, sources suggest that he remains open to the prospect if approached. Known for his fearless approach to challenges, Gambhir’s leadership qualities and strategic acumen could prove invaluable for the Indian cricket team.
According to the statement of the source, “Gautam Gambhir has not applied yet, but if things go well and BCCI indicates that he will be the coach if he applies, then he will apply on June 27. There has been no discussion with KKR owner Shahrukh Khan regarding this yet.”
