Gautam Gambhir’s India Coaching Role at Risk, Report Claims He Could Lose Test Duties

 Mumbai:   Gautam Gambhir’s tenure as India’s head coach has faced early setbacks, with a series loss in Sri Lanka and a clean sweep at home against New Zealand in Test matches. These disappointing results have raised doubts about his future in the longest format of the game.

The Crucial Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Gambhir’s ‘Make or Break’ Moment

With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia looming, Gambhir’s role as the head coach could be in jeopardy if India fails to perform well. Reports suggest that while the BCCI may retain Gambhir for white-ball formats, a poor performance in Australia could lead to his reassignment, with a specialist like VVS Laxman possibly taking over as Test coach.

Internal Disagreements and BCCI’s Decision-Making

Despite Gambhir’s coaching stint, internal disagreements over team selection have emerged, particularly between Gambhir and the team’s think-tank. The BCCI’s decision could hinge on these differences and the team’s performance in the upcoming Test series against Australia, making it a pivotal moment in Gambhir’s coaching career.
