Gautam Gambhir, a former Indian cricketer and current mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), has expressed his desire to coach the Indian national cricket team, stating that there is 'no bigger honour' than representing one's country.
Gambhir, who was a key member of India's 2007 World T20 and 2011 ODI World Cup-winning teams, believes that the prayers and support of 140 crore Indians will be crucial in helping India win another major title.
He emphasized the importance of a fearless approach and a united dressing room, citing his recent success with the KKR as an example. Gambhir's comments have sparked speculation that he could be a potential successor to Rahul Dravid as India's head coach after the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup.
Earlier this week, former India captain Sourav Ganguly had endorsed Gambhir for the role, saying that 'he is a good candidate'. Gambhir's experience as a player and his recent success as a mentor make him a strong contender for the position.
If appointed, Gambhir will be tasked with guiding India to success in major tournaments such as the World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy. His leadership skills and tactical acumen will be key to India's performance on the international stage.
Gambhir's appointment would also be a significant moment for Indian cricket, as it would mark the first time that a former player from the 2007 and 2011 World Cup-winning teams takes on the role of head coach.
