The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly in talks with former India opener Gautam Gambhir and ex-Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene to replace Rahul Dravid as the national team’s next head coach. Gambhir currently serves as a mentor for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL), while Jayawardene is the head of cricket for Mumbai Indians. The BCCI is prioritizing candidates with coaching experience in the IPL, and both Gambhir and Jayawardene fit that criterion. Gambhir played a crucial role in KKR’s recent success in the IPL, having previously guided Lucknow Super Giants to the playoffs as mentor. Jayawardene has also worked as a consulting coach with the Sri Lankan team in ICC events. The BCCI is seeking a coach who is willing to commit to the team for the next three years, including two World Test Championship cycles and three ICC white-ball events.
