NEW DELHI: Former opener India Gautam Gambhir remained evasive when questioned about his potential appointment as the next head coach of the national side, stating, “I don’t see that far ahead.”
The 42-year-old was speaking at an event organized by the Indian Chambers of Commerce in Kolkata on Friday.
Earlier this week, Gambhir participated in a virtual interview with the BCCI‘s Cricket Advisory Committee.Many believe he is the frontrunner to take over from current head coach Rahul Dravidwhose tenure is set to conclude after the ongoing T20 World Cup.
Despite his recent success as a team mentor, playing a key role in KKR’s third IPL title win, Gambhir refused to comment on his prospects.
“I don’t see that far ahead. You are grilling me, asking me all tough questions,” Gambhir, as quoted by PTI, said.
“It is difficult to answer right now. All I can say is that I’m happy being here, just finished a brilliant journey (and) let’s enjoy that. I’m in a very happy space right now,” Gambhir said at a ‘Rise To Leadership’ seminar.
