Gautam Gambhir Becomes New Head Coach of Team India

New Delhi [India], July 9: Gautam Gambhir has been appointed as the new Head Coach of Team India.

Under his guidance, KKR won their third IPL trophy this season.

Gambhir expressed his honor and commitment to his new role, stating, “India is my identity and serving my country has been the greatest privilege of my life. I’m honored to be back, albeit wearing a different hat. But my goal is the same as it has always been, to make every Indian proud. The men in blue shoulder the dreams of 1.4 billion Indians and I will do everything in my power to make these dreams come true.”
