Following India's Test series loss to South Africa, reports suggest the BCCI is evaluating Gautam Gambhir's role as Test coach. Despite success in white-ball formats, his Test record has drawn scrutiny. The BCCI reportedly approached VVS Laxman about coaching the red-ball team, but he declined, preferring his current role. Gambhir's contract extends to 2027, but his future may depend on India's T20 World Cup performance, with ongoing debate within the board about his suitability for the remaining Test matches.
