Media reports are abuzz that Gautam Gambhir would be the head coach and making the reports true he was appointed as the coach. This is a big responsibility on Gautam Gambhir.
Under Rahul Dravid, Team India won the ICC trophy after a long time. Gambhir has to take forward his legacy now. Observers say that Gautam Gambhir would face a few troubles as the head coach in his tenure as head coach of three years.
India will play five test series with Australia and his test starts with that. India and Australia matches are always intense. In the Border-Gavaskar trophy, India has the upper hand and we have to see what India would do under Gambhir’s guidance.
Another big test will be the Champions Trophy hosted by Pakistan. While there is no clarity on whether India will visit Pakistan or not India wants to win the trophy and add another ICC trophy to its name.
The World Test Championship is another test. India lost two WTC finals and they want to win the third title for sure. There will be a T20 World Cup in two years in 2026 and India will enter the tournament as defending champions. There is a test series with New Zealand in the same year.
In 2027 there are two ICC events- the WTC final and the ODI World Cup final. These are the major events Gautam Gambhir would face as the head coach of India. He has to be accurate in the team combination and how he forms the team. It would be interesting to see how Gambhir will face these challenges.
