Gautam Gambhir assistant coach for Team India

Who will be on Gautam Gambhir’s support staff now that he’s named Team India’s new head coach? With the contracts of fielding coach T Dilip, batting coach Vikram Rathour, and bowling coach Paras Mhambrey ending alongside Rahul Dravid’s tenure, there’s a new lineup in the making. According to reports, KKR batting coach Abhishek Nayar is set to join Gambhir in the Team India setup.

Gambhir is clear about his demand for Abhishek Nayar as the assistant coach. A report by Cricbuzz reveals that Gambhir specifically requested Nayar after their successful stint together with KKR in IPL 2024. Nayar has been a crucial part of the KKR team for a while, earning praise from many young players. Gambhir is particularly impressed by Nayar’s dedication and work ethic.

Fielding coach T Dilip is likely to join Team Gambhir as well. The report suggests that Gambhir intends to retain him. While the BCCI thanked Dravid’s entire support staff, sparking rumors of their departure, it seems some may stay.

For the bowling coach position, Gambhir is looking at former teammates like Lakshmipathy Balaji and Vinay Kumar, who have both worked with him before.

The BCCI is expected to announce Gambhir’s support staff soon, with most of his preferences likely to be approved.
