Reports also suggest that former South African fast bowler Morne Morkel, who played under Gambhir’s leadership at KKR and worked with him at LSG for two years, is a leading contender for the role of the new bowling coach of the Indian cricket team.
The BCCI is expected to officially announce Gautam Gambhir as the head coach of Team India on July 22, and will hold a press conference in Mumbai with the new T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav.
