BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia has refuted reports suggesting Gautam Gambhir's removal as head coach of the Indian Test team. Saikia clarified that Gambhir, appointed in July 2024, will continue his tenure as per his contract. These rumors emerged following India's recent home Test defeats against South Africa. Saikia explicitly denied any discussions or approaches made to other individuals, including VVS Laxman, for the coaching position, labeling the reports as baseless speculation.
