Furthermore, a respected commentator with deep ties with BCCI affairs mentioned ongoing efforts to secure Gambhir’s services.

Earlier, Rahul Dravid, whose tenure concluded post the T20 World Cup, reportedly opted out of reapplying for the coaching post. While names like Stephen Fleming were under consideration, the spotlight shined on the KKR mentor. The BCCI’s keen interest in Gambhir reportedly stemmed from the shared commitment to serving the nation.

Despite Gambhir’s limited coaching experience, his impactful leadership at Kolkata Knight Riders, guiding them to an IPL win as a mentor, definitely underscores his potential for success in this new coaching role.
