The Indian cricket team is looking for a new head coach. In this connection, the names of many former veterans have come up, but no veteran's name has been finalized yet. The BCCI has invited applications for the post of head coach till May 27. Former New Zealand captain and CSK team coach in IPL, Stephen Fleming's name was earlier in the race for the coach, but Stephen later turned it down. Regarding the Australian players, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah had already made it clear that no Australian has been asked to become the coach of Team India.

Now the name of veteran Gautam Gambhir is leading in the race to become the head coach of Team India. Looking at the way Gambhir has mentored KKR this season, he is now being considered a strong contender to become the head coach.

Gambhir hasn't applied yet

If Gautam Gambhir wants to become the head coach of Team India, then the former player will have to first apply for this post. According to reports, Gambhir has not yet applied for this. However, if everything goes well and Gautam Gambhir applies, then BCCI can definitely make him the head coach of Team India. Gambhir can apply for this on May 27. At the same time, Gambhir has not yet talked to KKR owner Shahrukh Khan in this regard.
