How long will Gautam Gambhir remain the coach of Team India?
Rahul Dravid was the head coach when India won the 2024 T20 World Cup title under Rohit Sharma's captaincy. Gautam Gambhir took over as head coach after Dravid's tenure ended. Gambhir was first seen with Team India in this role in July 2024. Under his supervision, India has so far won the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Overall, Gautam Gambhir's record as a coach has not been very impressive. During his tenure, Team India suffered defeats in home Test series against New Zealand and South Africa. The situation is such that the Indian team is struggling to qualify for the World Test Championship final.
They lost an ODI series against Sri Lanka, and recently, Ireland won a series against Team India for the first time.
When will Gautam Gambhir's tenure end?
Gautam Gambhir was appointed head coach of the Indian cricket team in July 2024. His tenure spans approximately three and a half years, running until December 2027. The final major tournament for Team India under Gambhir's coaching will be the 2027 ODI World Cup, to be hosted by South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. Whether Gambhir wishes to extend his tenure and whether the BCCI approves it is a separate matter.
There are still about 15 months remaining in Gautam Gambhir's tenure. Notably, VVS Laxman is currently serving as Team India's head coach for the ongoing T20 series against Zimbabwe and will also accompany the Indian team to the Asian Games. There is speculation that Laxman could be handed the role of head coach after Gambhir.
