The hunt for the Indian cricket team (men) head coach has ended as BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) has officially announced that Gautam Gambhir will be replacing Rahul Dravid in the role. As the veteran successfully led Kolkata Knight Riders as a mentor, Indian cricket fans have really high expectations from him. Now, we are hearing some exciting deets about his annual salary, and here’s all you need to know!
Before Gambhir stepped in, Rahul Dravid was the head coach of team India (men). His tenure started in November 2021. His term was about to expire in November 2023, but BCCI gave him an extension until the T20 World Cup is over. As we all know, Dravid ended his tenure on a high note as, under his coaching, India lifted the World Cup.
After Rahul Dravid’s exit, VVS Laxman was appointed as a temporary coach for India’s T20 series against Zimbabwe. The series ended yesterday with India winning the 5-match series by 4-1, thus ending Laxman’s temporary role. Now, Gautam Gambhir will be joining as a head coach for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. The series starts on 27 July.
