Gambhir's Future Hinges on T20 World Cup
Gautam Gambhir, the coach of the Indian cricket team, is facing uncertainty about his future.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is currently supporting him, but they might reconsider after the T20 World Cup.
Gambhir recently said he wanted a sharply turning pitch for a Test match, which upset the BCCI.
If India does poorly in the T20 World Cup, Gambhir might lose his job.
The BCCI has also said they won't have different coaches for different formats of the game.
India's next Test series is in Sri Lanka in August 2024.
Gautam Gambhir's future as India's head coach depends on the T20 World Cup performance.
BCCI is currently backing Gambhir but will review his position post-T20 World Cup.
Gambhir's request for a sharply turning track in the Kolkata Test upset the BCCI.
India's next Test series is in Sri Lanka in August 2024.
BCCI has ruled out having different coaches for different formats.
