Gautam Gambhir: Team India has got a new head coach. This big responsibility has been handed over to Gautam Gambhir, the former opener and the man who made KKR the champion in IPL 2024. He will take over his workload from the upcoming series against Sri Lanka.

However, the batting, bowling and fielding coaches have not been announced yet. A big news is coming on social media, according to which the former Australian great cricketer is to be appointed to the post of batting coach. Let us know about him in detail in this article.

This Australian legend will become India's batting coach

Team India has got a new head coach in the form of Gautam Gambhir. The team will soon get its batting coach as well. During Rahul Dravid's tenure, Vikram Rathod was handling this responsibility.

Now Australian legend Ricky Ponting is going to get this post from the Board of Control for Cricket in India. In fact, recently IPL franchise Delhi Capitals has fired him from the post of head coach. Also, it is being speculated that Gambhir can propose Ponting's name to BCCI.

Both the legends have worked together in IPL

If Ricky Ponting becomes the batting coach of Team India, then he and Gautam Gambhir will be seen working together. However, this is not the first time. Earlier, both the legends were working together for Delhi Capitals in IPL. Gambhir was captaining Delhi then. Ponting was the head coach of that team.

The former Australian captain was associated with this team for seven years. He was given this big responsibility by this franchise in the year 2017. Since then, he has been continuously giving his services to Delhi Capitals season after season. Yesterday, this team released him from his services.

Sourav Ganguly gave this big statement

Delhi Capitals removed Ricky Ponting from the post of head coach. However, it is being said that the team director Sourav Ganguly is behind this. Dada said during an interview yesterday that Ponting was associated with this team for seven years, but he could not win a single title for Delhi Capitals.
