For several days, it was heard that the Indian board preferred Gambhir as the coach after Rahul Dravid. Finally, India officially appointed the World Cup winning cricketer as the head coach. Another former cricketer WV Raman was fighting with Gambhir.
BCCI started thinking about Gambhir after learning that Rahul Dravid will leave India. However, the obstacle was Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh was not very willing to leave Gambhir after the team became champion. In the end he agreed for the sake of the country.
Gambhir is very successful as a mentor in IPL. Also, the board became very interested in him because of his good relationship with Indian cricketers. As a mentor of Lucknow Super Giants, this former cricketer gave great success in 2022 and 2023. Both times Lucknow made it to the IPL playoffs.
In 2024, Gambhir took over as the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders. Shreyas Iyer's team became the IPL champion this time. Kolkata became the IPL champion after 10 years. Gambhir was also a member of the 2007 and 2011 World Cup winning teams as a player.
