Former cricketer and BJP MP Gautam Gambhir is facing challenges in his new role as coach, as the BCCI has not fully approved his preferred support staff choices, diverging from past practices where coaches were allowed to select their team. Gambhir's history of polarizing opinions and recent playing experience with current cricketers adds complexity to his position. The BCCI's reluctance to grant Gambhir his preferred support staff reflects a shift in decision-making power within the organization, signaling that Gambhir may not have full control despite his appointment.
