Gautam Gambhir addressed his future as the head coach of the men's national team and stated that he isn't «looking far ahead» as he is in a «happy space» at the moment.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is evaluating the next head coach as the stint of Rahul Dravid is about to reach its conclusion following the end of the T20 World Cup 2024 in June.
Gambhir has been heavily linked with the role, with many former cricketers backing the 2011 World Cup winner to thrive as the head coach of the Indian team.
He has already said that he would «love to coach the Indian team» and it will be an honour for him if he gets the opportunity to do so.
As Dravid's time with the Men in Blue is slowly reaching towards its end, Gambhir remained tight-lipped about the possibility of replacing his former teammate.
