Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir has stirred the pot in Indian cricket by outlining his demands for taking on the coveted India Coach role. While not explicitly confirmed, reports suggest Gambhir has proposed a radical approach to team management, advocating for separate teams for different formats.

This idea, if implemented, would see separate coaches and selection panels for T20 Internationals, ODIs, and Test matches. This could potentially lead to a shift in strategy and selection for each format, allowing for specialized coaching and player development.

While Gambhir’s proposal has sparked debate, it’s crucial to note that BCCI has not officially responded to his demands.

Current India coach Rahul Dravid currently oversees all three formats. However, the increasing workload and the demands of each format have led to speculation about the feasibility of a single coach for all.

Whether or not Gambhir’s vision becomes a reality remains to be seen, but his bold suggestions have undoubtedly injected new energy into the ongoing discussion on India’s coaching structure.

It remains to be seen if Rohit Sharma, the current captain, will be involved in this decision or if the BCCI will prefer to maintain the current structure. The next few months will be crucial in determining the future of Indian cricket coaching.
