Gautam Gambhir Finally Breaks Silence On India Coach Job, Says "Don't See..."

Evading queries on whether he is set to be the next head coach of the Indian cricket team, former opener Gautam Gambhir on Friday said he doesn't "see that far ahead" but provided insights into his coaching philosophy which is based on the "team first ideology". Gambhir was speaking at an Indian Chamber of Commerce event. He appeared in a virtual interview with the BCCI's Cricket Advisory Committee earlier this week and is widely perceived to be India's next head coach after incumbent Rahul Dravid's tenure comes to an end following the ongoing T20 World Cup in the West Indies. However, Gambhir, who recently played a crucial role in KKR's third title win in the IPL as team mentor, remained tight-lipped when he was asked about his prospects.

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir is so far the front runner for the role of the head coach of the men's national cricket team. There might not be a tough competition but the fact cannot be denied that another former India opener WV Raman is also among the consideration.

Gautam Gambhir's expected appointment as India's head coach could provide a new lease of life to IPL champion skipper Shreyas Iyer's international career during the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in July-August. Having led Kolkata Knight Riders successfully in the IPL, Iyer could also go for the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe starting July 5, but the more realistic chance of a comeback is the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Gambhir, who is the front-runner for India coach position, and Iyer forged a successful partnership during KKR's victorious IPL campaign this year and the talented Mumbai right-hander, who has been a prolific 50-over batter, might finally have fortune favouring him after a few tumultuous months. Gambhir was the mentor of the franchise.
