According to a recent report from Dainik Jagaran, Gambhir has put “one condition” before the board if he decides to fill in the application form for the head coach. Furthermore, the report also claims that Gambhir’s willingness to try his hand at coaching the Indian team is subjective to the fact that Dravid’s departure from the coaching scenario is affirmative.

If GG decides to take up the coaching responsibility of the national side, he would have to leave the responsibility of KKR. Now, the question that remains is whether GG will be willing to let go of his mentorship role at KKR and what will be the “condition” that he has put before the board albeit domestic success as a mentor?
