Rumours have intensified after India’s disappointing Test series loss to South Africa, raising questions over his future as head coach
Some media reports suggested that the BCCI had informally approached VVS Laxman for the Test coaching role
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia cleared the air, saying Gambhir is safe and in charge of all formats
Gambhir’s contract runs until the 2027 ODI World Cup, and the board has no plans to change coaches
Reports claim the BCCI denied approaching VVS Laxman, who is said to be happy in his role as Head of Cricket at the NCA in Bengaluru, with no coaching switch planned
Despite criticism over Test results, the BCCI is backing Gambhir fully as of now. No sacking, no replacement, just rumours
