The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently announced Gambhir as the head coach, thanking Dravid and his team for their contributions. While Dilip’s services are likely to continue, the search for a new bowling coach is still ongoing. Potential candidates like Lakshmipathy Balaji and Vinay Kumar, who have previously worked with Gambhir at KKR, are being considered, but the BCCI may opt for a coach with a strong track record of developing young talent.
The focus is on strengthening India’s fast bowling resources, with an emphasis on nurturing emerging players like Harshit Rana, Tushar Deshpande, and Mayank Yadav. The new bowling coach will play a crucial role in inspiring and guiding these talents. While discussions are ongoing, the final decision has yet to be made. Stay tuned for updates as Gambhir assembles his coaching staff for the upcoming cricket season.
