The most open secret in Indian cricket has finally been revealed. Having known Gautam Gambhir for over 20 years, I am confident he will do a fine job. He can be direct, even blunt, but his heart is in the right place and he cares deeply for Indian cricket.

The announcement was made on Tuesday following India's recent T20 World Cup triumph.
"It is with immense pleasure that I welcome Mr. Gautam Gambhir as the new Head Coach of the Indian Cricket Team," stated Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Gambhir, 42, steps into the role with a rich legacy, having amassed over 10,000 international runs since his ODI debut in 2003. His appointment follows Dravid's successful tenure, which culminated in a T20 World Cup victory in Barbados last month.
