Gambhir’s tenure as head coach has been mixed so far. Team India won the T20 series 3-0 in the Sri Lanka tour. At the same time, they had to face a 0-2 defeat in the ODI series. Meanwhile, recently former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag gave his opinion on the role of the head coach. Sehwag believes that this responsibility is not as difficult as it may seem from the outside. He also explained the reason why the players will have more burden than Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir is there to help them all- Virender Sehwag Talking about the interview given to Amar Ujala, Virender Sehwag said, I don’t think it is a challenging role because it involves other professionals as well. The team has recently won the T20 World Cup and the players know their roles. Gambhir’s arrival will give clarity to the players. It will be an added advantage. The challenges will be less for Gambhir and more for the players, because now they will feel that after the T20 World Cup they have to win the Champions Trophy or the WTC Final or the World Cup. But of course, Gambhir is there to help all of them. Sehwag never wants to become the head coach of Team India Virender Sehwag further revealed why he would never accept the role of Indian coach. However, he has expressed his desire to become an IPL coach. Let us tell you, Sehwag was the mentor of the franchise from 2016 to 2018 after representing Punjab Kings in 2014 and 2015. Not with the Indian cricket team, but if the IPL gives me a coaching opportunity, I can definitely consider it. If I become the head coach of India, I will have to return to the same routine that I have done for 15 years. To play for the Indian team, you have to stay out for 8-9 months a year. If I become the head coach of India, staying away from my children will be the biggest challenge for me. I will not be able to give time to my children. But yes, if the role of coach or mentor is available in the IPL, I can accept it.
