"It is with immense pleasure that I welcome Mr Gautam Gambhir as the new Head Coach of the Indian Cricket Team," Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a statement.

Gautam Gambhir is in pole position to become India's next head coach after media reports said Tuesday that he was the only applicant for the high-profile post.

"How can I help India win the World Cup - I think it's not me that will help India win the World Cup, it is 140 crore Indians that will help India win the World Cup," Gambhir said.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has invited applications for the next India head coach as Rahul Dravid's tenure will end after the 2024 T20 World Cup. 

Rishabh Pant's middle-order experience can help him edge out Sanju Samson and become India's preferred wicketkeeper-batsman at the Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies and United States next month, former India batsman Gautam Gambhir said.

“It’s New Years tomorrow [today], so we have got sweets for you guys. So please feel free and put some calories on,” Gambhir said before distributing rasgullas.

“Not only a fairplay award, they should be given an Oscar,” Gavaskar said.

Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir once again made the headlines with his bold comment and this time he lashed out against ‘hero worship’ in Indian cricket, reckons the obsession over top stars  and said that the media and broadcasters should focus on other performers too.
