A New Chapter Begins
In Indian cricket, two-time World Cup winner Gautam Gambhir has adopted a new look. As the current T20 World Champions’ head coach, he formally took Rahul Dravid’s post.
His appointment, which signifies his shift from being a successful player to a national team manager, is a momentous occasion in Indian cricket.
Special Mention for Rahul Dravid
In his farewell speech as coach, Gambhir pays tribute to Rahul Dravid’s legacy. During his time as head coach, Dravid guided India to an ICC championship.
Gambhir’s appreciation of Dravid’s accomplishments is a reflection of the cricketing fraternity’s unity and mutual respect.
Roadmap Ahead
During his three-year term, Gambhir will confront several obstacles as he assumes leadership. The next visit of Sri Lanka will be his first significant test.
His appointment’s financial terms are still being worked out, but his major priority is still influencing Indian cricket’s future.

Few have seen the road from playing for India to coaching India. Yours has been a journey that I've had the privilege of seeing up close – all the hard yards that you've had to cross. So well deserved @GautamGambhir 👏
