Team India new coach: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is in the process of finalising a new head coach for the Indian cricket team, most likely before the end of ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 tournament.
Rahul Dravid's tenure as India head coach is set to end after ICC T20 World Cup 2024 tournament, and reportedly he does not wish to extend it further.
IPL 2024 winning mentor Gautam Gambhir's name has come up in discussions for the top coaching role and it is being widely reported that the former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain is the top contender to be finalised for the role.

Meanwhile, Sourav Ganguly took to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday (May 30), talking about importance of a coach’s role in the life of athletes. Although, Ganguly did not directly state whether he was referring to the Indian cricket team's head coach role.
"The coach’s significance in one’s life, their guidance, and relentless training shape the future of any person, both on and off the field. So choose the coach and institution wisely," Sourav wrote on X.
Gautam Gambhir's candidacy for India's new head coach appears strong. He hasn't made any statements regarding this possibility. It appears the BCCI has limited options, as several potential candidates have declined the high-profile role.
Gambhir's strong bond with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) owner Shahrukh Khan could complicate his departure from the IPL team. Additionally, the opinions of senior Indian players currently in New York about appointing Gambhir as head coach are also a crucial factor to consider.
