Gautam Gambhir Sets Blunt 'Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Condition' For India Coach Job: Report
NDTV
Gautam Gambhir was interviewed last week by BCCI's Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) after it was reported that the former India opener was the only candidate to apply for the head coach job.
Gautam Gambhir has been heavily linked with the job to become the next head coach of the Indian men's cricket team. With current boss Rahul Dravid's contract set to expire after the ongoing T20 World Cup, Gambhir was the only candidate to apply for the job, as per multiple reports. The former India opener was interviewed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)'s Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) last week, where Gambhir presented some of his demands to the board.
However, Navbharat Times has now reported that during his interview with the CAC, Gambhir laid down not one but five conditions to accept BCCI's proposal.
Gambhir demanded that he will have full control of the cricketing operations of the team, without any interference from the board.
