Gautam Gambhir is set to be appointed as India's next head coach after emerging as the lone applicant for the role, according to The Indian Express. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had called for applications in early May following Rahul Dravid's decision to step down post the ongoing T20 World Cup. The application deadline was May 27, with reports indicating a lack of high-profile interest due to the demanding travel schedule involved. Gambhir, a former Indian cricketer and opener, is scheduled to be interviewed by the Cricket Advisory Committee—comprising Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjape, and Sulakshana Naik—via Zoom on Tuesday. His potential selection highlights the unique circumstances surrounding the search for India's head coach.
