Earlier Gautam Gambhir had the responsibility

Before Zaheer Khan, the management of Lucknow Super Giants had handed over the responsibility of the team's mentor to former Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir and he was associated with the team as a mentor for about 2 years. But before IPL 2024, he resigned from his post and joined the Kolkata squad. Gautam Gambhir was also associated with Kolkata as a mentor and in the very first year, he made the team a champion.

Gautam Gambhir is the coach of the Indian team

Former Team India player and former Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Gambhir has been appointed as the new coach of the Indian cricket team by the BCCI management just after IPL 2024. Gautam Gambhir has started his tenure with the T20 series played against Sri Lanka. Gautam Gambhir has been given the responsibility of coaching the Indian team till the ODI World Cup 2027 by the management. If Gautam Gambhir wants even after this, he can request the management to extend his tenure.
