Former India coach Lalchand Rajput believes that Gautam Gambhir is the ideal candidate to lead Indian cricket forward. Rajput praises Gambhir for being a shrewd tactician and a no-nonsense individual, emphasising his added value to the team as a two-time World Cup winner. Although it remains unclear whether Gambhir has officially applied for the position of India coach, there is speculation that he might replace Rahul Dravid after the T20 World Cup. The deadline for applications for the job ended on May 27.
