Indian Head New Coach Challenges: After T20 World Cup 2024, Team India will get a new head coach. Gautam Gambhir can be seen as the new head coach. If media reports are to be believed, Gambhir’s appointment as the head is certain and now the only delay is the official announcement. Gambhir had made Kolkata champion under his mentorship in IPL 2024 this year. Now if Gambhir becomes the coach of Team India, he will face not one or two but many challenges.
1- Preparing a new captain
If we look at the last 10 to 15 years, the next captain of Team India was almost certain. After Dhoni, it was certain that Kohli would become the captain and then after Kohli, Rohit Sharma took the command of Team India. But now the question is arising that who will take charge of the team after Rohit Sharma? Gambhir will have a big challenge to become the new captain after Rohit Sharma.
2- Coordination with senior players
It is often seen with the new coach that he does not get along well with the senior players of the team. In such a situation, this can also prove to be a big challenge for Gambhir after becoming a coach. However, Gambhir, who has played the role of mentor for KKR, has not seen any altercation with the senior players till now. When Anil Kumble was the head coach of Team India, he had a clash with the senior players of the team.
3- Ending the ICC trophy drought
Team India last won the ICC Trophy in 2013 (Champions Trophy). These days the T20 World Cup of 2024 is going on. However, Team India seems to be a strong contender to win the tournament. Even after the T20 World Cup, getting Team India to win the ICC trophy can prove to be a big challenge for Gambhir.
4- Strengthening the bench strength of the team
Gambhir will have a big challenge to strengthen the bench strength of the team. It is a big responsibility of the coach to give opportunities to the senior players as well as the youngsters in the team. After the departure of the senior players of the team, it is very important to maintain balance in the team.
