India to resort to split-coaching? BCCI official sets the record straight amid India-England tests

With Rahul Dravid stepping down after guiding India to the 2024 T20 World Cup title, Gautam Gambhir was appointed head coach — fresh off his IPL success with KKR. But nearly a year into his tenure, Gambhir's mixed performance across formats has sparked serious questions. India’s Test Woes: India has won just 3 of 11 Tests under Gambhir — with heavy losses and only minor successes against Bangladesh and Australia. As India trails 0-1 in the England Test series, speculation grows over whether BCCI will consider a split-coaching model — one coach for red-ball cricket, another for white-ball formats. What’s Next? With Test-heavy series against West Indies and South Africa looming, Gambhir’s leadership will face intense scrutiny.
