When India won the 2024 T20 World Cup title under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid used to be the head coach. After his tenure ended, Gautam Gambhir took over as head coach. Finally, in July 2024, Gambhir was seen with Team India as head coach for the first time. Under him, India has so far won the title of 2024 T20 World Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy.

Overall, Gautam Gambhir’s record as a coach has not been very good. During his tenure as coach, Team India has lost the home Test series against New Zealand and South Africa. The situation is that the Indian team is struggling to reach the World Test Championship final. Lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka and recently Ireland has won a series against Team India for the first time.

When will Gautam Gambhir’s tenure end?

Gautam Gambhir was appointed the head coach of the Indian cricket team in July 2024. His tenure will be about 3 and a half years long, which will last till December 2027. The last major tournament of Team India under the coach of Gautam Gambhir will be the 2027 ODI Cricket World Cup, which is to be played in the hosting of South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. If Gambhir wants to extend his tenure and BCCI approves it, then that will be a different matter.

There are still about 15 months left for Gautam Gambhir’s tenure to end. Let us tell you that in the recent Zimbabwe T20 series, VVS Laxman is playing the role of head coach of Team India and Laxman will also be with the Indian team for the Asian Games.
