The BCCI has strongly denied reports suggesting VVS Laxman was informally approached to replace Gautam Gambhir as India's Test coach. Following recent Test series defeats, speculation arose about a potential change. However, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has termed these reports 'entirely inaccurate' and 'baseless,' reaffirming the board's complete trust and support for Gambhir. The board stated no discussions with Laxman have occurred and emphasized continuity in leadership.
