When head coach Rahul Dravid‘s term concludes during the current T20 World Cup, the Indian team is expected to undergo a significant makeover. Since Dravid decided not to reapply, former Indian batter Gautam Gambhir has emerged as the team’s top candidate to take over as head coach.
But as former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra puts it, Gambhir’s task will be quite challenging. The majority of Indian players, according to Chopra, are gradually approaching retirement.
He cited the number of players who are in their mid-thirties. Gambhir will take over an Indian team that is going through a transition, and the team’s performance may depend on how well he manages it.
“Gautam Gambhir conducted the conversation. Compared to WV Raman, who gave an excellent presentation, it has been argued that this interview was conducted virtually. I just finished reading that. In this race, Gautam Gambhir is the clear leader. Aakash Chopra stated in a video posted on his YouTube account, “It’s been spoken everywhere, and we have also realised it.

Roadmap will have to be prepared: Aakash Chopra
In addition, Aakash Chopra discussed how the 2027 World Cup would be the Indian team’s next priority. Chopra said that with Gambhir leading the Indian team, the BCCI will need to put out a very crucial plan.
“Your team needs to get ready for the 2027 World Cup, which is coming up in the next three to four years.” In addition, a T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka in 2026 and a WTC in 2027 are scheduled. Thus, a crucial roadmap will need to be created, Chopra stated.
