Gambhir is the new head coach of the Indian cricket team. Looking at the fluctuating relationship between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir, it was being speculated that BCCI might talk to Virat before his appointment but a report has revealed that no such conversation has taken place.
The new head coach of the Indian cricket team has been announced. Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir will be seen in this role. Now new information has come to light in the reports that Virat Kohli was not consulted before Gambhir became the coach of Team India.
Virat was not consulted, while Hardik was in the loop
According to BCCI sources, claimed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) did not take any advice from senior player Virat Kohli before appointing Gautam Gambhir as the coach, while they kept Hardik Pandya in the loop in this conversation.
According to the report, the source said that this decision has been taken keeping in mind the future of the team. Both have enough time to talk, but it was important for the BCCI to look at the bigger picture, which is likely to include many young players in the coming years.
Gambhir and Kohli’s relationship is sour and sweet
The relationship between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir has been full of ups and downs in the past. Virat and Gambhir were seen coming face to face in the IPL. Although later this issue was resolved, but looking at the relationship between the two, it was being speculated that perhaps the BCCI would talk to Virat Kohli, but the BCCI is looking at it in a broader perspective.

After the tenure of Rahul Dravid as head coach ended, Gambhir has been appointed in his place. At the same time, it will also be interesting to see how Rohit Sharma’s tuning is formed with Gautam Gambhir. The jugalbandi of Rohit and Dravid was very good. Rohit himself had persuaded Dravid to extend his tenure.
Rohit and Kohli have asked for a long break- Reports
If the report is to be believed, the first captain to work with Gautam Gambhir could be Hardik Pandya because after Rohit Sharma’s retirement, he is most likely to become the captain of T20. At the same time, Rohit and Kohli have asked for a long break to spend time with family, so in the upcoming Sri Lanka series, Hardik can be seen joining Gambhir as captain in ODIs as well.
