The post of head coach of the Indian cricket team is in discussion these days. At present, Rahul Dravid is playing the role of coach, but Dravid's tenure will end after the T20 World Cup 2024 in June. In such a situation, Team India is looking for a new head coach.

Gambhir will not become head coach because of Shahrukh!

Former Indian cricket team batsman and Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gautam Gambhir is being eyed as the next head coach. But is Shah Rukh Khan stopping Gambhir from becoming the head coach of Team India?

Gambhir has become the mentor of Kolkata from this year i.e. IPL 2024. Under the guidance of Gambhir, the team also reached the final of the tournament. In such a situation, KKR would not want to let Gambhir go at all and to become the head coach of Team India, he will have to leave some other team.

Gambhir did not apply

According to reports, Gambhir has not yet applied for the post of head coach. The biggest reason for Gambhir not applying for this post is his current tenure with KKR. Kolkata has won two trophies under Gambhir's captaincy. Now the team is also seen becoming a champion under his patronage.

Won't take any serious request without talking to Shah Rukh Khan?

Gautam Gambhir and Kolkata's co-owner Shah Rukh Khan share a very good bond. Shah Rukh Khan does not want Gambhir to break ties with KKR at all. According to media reports, when Gambhir was working as a mentor with Lucknow Super Giants, Shah Rukh Khan requested him to return to KKR. Apart from this, Shah Rukh Khan talked about giving Gambhir any amount.

Gambhir hasn't spoken to Shah Rukh yet

Gautam Gambhir has not yet spoken to Kolkata owner Shahrukh Khan about Gambhir becoming the head coach. If he had to apply for this post, he would naturally talk to Shahrukh Khan because he wants to keep it with him. Gambhir has been associated with this franchise for more than 10 years.
