Did Shah Rukh Khan Offered Blank Cheque To Gautam Gambhir? Know Why:

Gautam Gambhir is turning out as lucky charm for Kolkata Knight Riders as his arrival in the deck as a mentor has brought third title to KKR after 10 years. Last time KKR won IPL back in 2014 when Gautam Gambhir was leading the team. There are reports that KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan offered blank cheque to Gambhir to join KKR for next 10 years.

On the other hand, Gautam Gambhir has been showing keen interest for the head coach position of Men's Team India. Amid the speculations of the legendary players applying for the head coach position, Australian players, Justin Langer & Ponting have denied the remours followed by Jay Shah. Gautam Gambhir remains only probable Indian candidate whose name is doing rounds. Not to forget, Shah recently hinted that the board would rather have an Indian name as the head coach rather than a foreign option, explaining that "It's crucial that our coach has an in-depth knowledge of our domestic cricket framework to truly elevate Team India to the next level."

Current head coach Rahul Dravid's tenure will end after the 2024 T20 World Cup. The India legend does not wish to reapply for the role, leaving BCCI in a rather difficult position with no official confirmation at all of who has applied for the high-profile job. May 27 stands as the deadline day for the submission of names for the India head coach role.
