In a major shift within Indian cricket, Gautam Gambhir is poised to become an influential head coach, wielding substantial power over the national team. Unlike predecessors who succumbed to player authority, Gambhir is set to redefine the coach's role with strategic autonomy.
Gambhir's ascendancy comes as prominent players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma step back, allowing him to phase out the star culture and implement fresh strategies. His vision aligns closely with chairman Ajit Agarkar, marking a collaborative leadership front.
With Shubman Gill as his prospective young captain and Jasprit Bumrah's influence curtailed by fitness concerns, Gambhir is expected to lead Indian cricket's new era, possibly only facing challenges in the ODI format until the 2027 World Cup.
