Gautam Gambhir the cricketer who was with BJP in politics is now coming back to cricket. After a brief tenure in politics, he is not contesting the election this time and is back to cricket.
Wait for Indian cricket to find out who the Rahul Dravids successor as the men’s team’s head coach would be, is likely to end soon, with Gautam Gambhir reportedly all set to take up the responsibility.
Gambhir’s name has been doing rounds in the Indian cricketing spectrum, with his impressive stint as mentor for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 franchise seeing his stocks rise.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also seemed to be interested in a host of big Australian names, as well as other IPL coaches like Flower or the role of head coach of the Indian team, but it’s Gambhir who seems to be ahead of the rest.
There is a talk that the BJP indirectly is supporting Gambhir for the post.
