Recently, rumors of Gautam Gambhir being removed from the post of head coach of Team India have gained momentum. Due to losing the home Test series against New Zealand, the Indian team could not play the final of the World Test Championship 2025. Even after that, Team India’s poor performance in Tests continues. Due to this, such news gained momentum that very soon Gautam Gambhir may have to lose his job. Now BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla has made everything clear on this subject.

BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla broke his silence

BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla has made it clear that Gautam Gambhir will not be removed from the post of head coach. Speaking to news agency ANI, he said, “I want to clarify everything that is being said in the media about head coach Gautam Gambhir. BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia has also clearly said that there is no plan to remove Gautam Gambhir or appoint a new head coach of Team India.”

Devjit Saikia has also given statement

On the expulsion of Gautam Gambhir, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia had said that this is absolutely false news being spread. Saikia also targeted those media agencies which were exaggerating the rumor of Gambhir’s removal. BCCI Secretary made it clear that there is no truth in the news of Gautam Gambhir’s removal and it is just someone’s fabricated story.

At present, Team India would like to forget the poor performance in Test cricket and move ahead, because a huge challenge is facing them. Team India had won the title of 2024 T20 World Cup, now it faces a big challenge to retain its crown. Let us tell you that India and Sri Lanka are going to host the 2026 T20 World Cup together, which will be played from 7 February to 8 March.

West Indies cricket is going through a bad phase right now, but Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir believes that very few teams have a purpose to play the game like West Indies. Gambhir also said that the ‘aim’ of the players present is to inspire the next generation. The Indian team won the 2-match Test series against the West Indies 2-0, however, in the last series of this series, the visiting team impressed and saved their team from an innings defeat. This happened only for the fourth time when India gave follow-on to a team and then the team had to bat in the fourth innings also.

India defeated West Indies by 7 wickets in Delhi and won the series 2-0. After this, West Indies head coach Darren Sammy invited Gautam Gambhir to his team’s dressing room. BCCI shared its video, Gambhir said, “When I talk about international cricket, there are many teams who play because they love the game whereas there are very few teams who have a purpose to play the game like the West Indies. You have a purpose, and that is more important than attachment and love. When I look at you, I feel that you can inspire the next generation of West Indies cricket.”

World cricket needs you- Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir said, “I know it is easy for me to stand here and talk about the performance, but I believe that you should take inspiration from the second innings of the second Test. You have a big objective of playing cricket and inspiring the next generation. Sometimes teams are looking for an objective, but they are not able to find it. But despite all the difficulties you guys face at home, the challenges you face, you have to keep a smile on your face, work hard, for the country. Playing and trying to inspire the next generation is the most important thing in West Indies cricket.”

Gautam Gambhir further said, “I want to say once, on which I have always believed. You may think that I am saying this casually but I am saying this from the heart. West Indies cricket does not need world cricket, but world cricket needs West Indies. When you wear the team jersey, remember, you have an opportunity to be special. Most of the players playing in T20 do not have this opportunity. Would.”

MS Dhoni has been one of the most successful captains of India. Under his captaincy, Team India won the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy. Many players have achieved a very high place in international cricket by playing with him. This makes it clear that Dhoni is well aware to use the talent of the players properly. In 2020, Dhoni took his retirement from international cricket, he was also a mentor of the Indian team in the 2021 T20 World Cup next year. Now Akash Chopra has discussed a subject about which the whole of India wants to know.

Now that time is probably not far when MS Dhoni will also take retirement from IPL. In such a situation, the question comes out whether Dhoni will ever consider becoming an Indian coach after stopping his playing career? Former India cricketer Akash Chopra believes that Dhoni will probably never take the responsibility of coaching on his shoulders.

Will MS Dhoni become coach of Team India?

Akash Chopra on his YouTube channel said, “I don’t think MS Dhoni is interested in giving coaching. There are difficulties in coaching boat. In coaching you have to be busy in coaching as you used to be in your cricket career days. Sometimes responsibilities are more than that.”

Why not coach players

Akash Chopra also explained why most of the players do not do coaching jobs. He said, “You have a family, you think that you have spent all your life walking around with suitcases. So why do the same work to do now. That is why most players do not do coaching jobs. Even if they do it, then for only 2 months in IPL. On the other hand you become the coach of the Indian team, then you have to stay with the team in a year. I don’t think that I will have so much time.”

Team India Head Coach Gautam Gambhir: The second Test match between India and England will be played at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham. The match will start from July 2 and will run till 6 July. The Indian team has lost the first Test match played in Leeds, causing England team to lead 1-0 in these five-match Test series. But if India wins this Test match in Edgbaston, then not only will you equal 1-1 in the series, but with the victory in this match, Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir will create a history that neither could create Ravi Shastri under the captaincy of Virat Kohli nor can it achieve this position while being a coach of Rahul Dravid.

Will Gautam be serious history?

Eight matches have been played so far at Edgbaston Stadium between India and England, one of which has been drawn. At the same time, the Indian team has faced defeat seven times. England have never lost on this ground against India. At the same time, ahead of Gautam Gambhir’s team, the challenge is to win this match and bring the series to 1-1.

Jasprit Bumrah will play the second Test?

There is suspense about Jaspreet Bumrah’s playing in the second Test match against England. It was told earlier on behalf of the Indian team that Bumrah will be able to play only three out of five matches due to his fitness. But Bumrah is seen practicing in Edgbaston even before the second Test. Ryan Ten Doshate, Assistant Coach of Team India, says that ‘Bumrah has told him that he is ready to play the second Test’. But now the coach of Team India has not taken any decision.
