NEW DELHI: In a landmark decision to shape the future trajectory of Indian cricket, the Cricket Advisory Committee unanimously appointed Gautam Gambhir as the Head Coach of Team India. Gambhir will officially assume his new role from the upcoming away series against Sri Lanka, which kicks off on July 27, 2024.
