Gautam Gambhir-coached India have largely struggled on the present England tour and the visitors are trailing 2-1 in the ongoing five-match series. India still trail by 137 runs in the fourth Test and they have their task cut out on the final day's play. India have struggled in Test cricket under Gambhir's coaching. They have only managed to win 4 Tests under him. India only managed one win in Australia. They have a win in England but have to pull off a miracle to register a series victory from here.

India suffered a shocking 0-3 defeat against New Zealand last year. India's continued struggles could see the BCCI taking corrective measures in Test cricket. It remains to be seen what the BCCI does after the ongoing England series.

Will the board remove Gambhir and appoint VVS Laxman as the head coach of the Test team? A post claiming that Laxman might take over as India's new red-ball coach is going viral on X. It has been viewed by nearly 3.5 lakh users and reposted more than 530 times. Will the BCCI remove Gambhir as the red-ball coach upon his return to India?

No, there has been no word from the BCCI on Gambhir's future yet. The board never takes such decisions in the middle of an important series. The board will surely have a meeting with Gambhir even if it decides to have different coaches for red-ball and white-ball cricket.

That is unlikely to happen and Gambhir looks all but set to continue as India's head coach. While India have struggled under him in Tests, they won the 2025 Champions Trophy earlier in the year. Gambhir has taken over the job when the Test team is undergoing a transformation. Not to forget, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from Tests before the England tour. Shubman Gill took over the Test captaincy from Rohit.
