Was Gautam Gambhir BCCI’s ‘compromise’ as Rahul Dravid’s replacement? Report makes startling revelation

Live Mint  

Gautam Gambhir ushered a new era in Indian cricket, when he was named as Rahul Dravid's replacement as the head coach of the men's senior national team.

However, six months down the line, Gambhir's job is at risk following India below-par show against New Zealand and Australia in Tests. Former India cricketer VVS Laxman was first approached to be India's head coach replacing Dravid.
