Gautam Gambhir has been named the head coach of the senior India Men's team, as announced by BCCI secretary Jay Shah on Tuesday . The 42-year-old's first assignment will be the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka, which includes 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is starting on July 27.
He lacks prior coaching experience but has been a mentor for several IPL teams, notably the Kolkata Knight Riders, who clinched the championship this year. As a player, he contributed to India's World Cup victories in 2007 and 2011. Throughout his international career spanning from 2004 to 2016, Gambhir participated in 58 Tests, 147 ODIs, and 37 T20Is.
"India is my identity and serving my country has been the greatest privilege of my life. I'm honoured to be back, albeit wearing a different hat. But my goal is the same as it has always been, to make every Indian proud. The men in blue shoulder the dreams of 1.4 billion Indians and I will do everything in my power to make these dreams come true!" Gambhir commented on his X account.
