The application deadline for India's men's cricket team chief coach concluded, with no prominent foreign contenders applying. BCCI's preference for candidates familiar with the domestic structure narrows options. While VVS Laxman, the NCA head, was a primary target, he shows disinterest in the demanding full-time role. Gautam Gambhir, speculated as a top choice, remains silent amid his successful IPL coaching stint. BCCI hints at extending the decision timeline, considering the upcoming World T20 and subsequent tours. The significant bond between Gambhir and KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan also adds complexity to the situation.
