Gautam Gambhir was appointed Indian cricket team head coach after Rahul Dravid's tenure ended following the T20 World Cup 2024 triumph. It was a fresh chapter for the team as the trio of Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Rohit Sharma also announced their retirement from T20Is. While the names of WV Raman and National Cricket Academy (NCA) chief VVS Laxman did make the rounds, Gambhir ultimately emerged as the top contender. While the move was welcomed by the majority of experts and fans, former Pakistan cricketer Tanveer Ahmed believes that Gambhir did not deserve the role. VVS Laxman ko indian team ka head caoch hona chahiye tha kyun k woh india B k sath kafi time say head coach kam kar raha ha lagta ha Gautham Gambhir parchi par aya ha
Tanveer took to social media to call Gambhir's appointment a 'parchi' case and added that VVS Laxman should have been appointed the head coach due to his work with the youngsters.
The word 'parchi' refers to someone making the team based on "sources or recommendations".
"VVS Laxman should have become the head coach of the Indian team because he has been with the India B team as coach for a long time. It seems as if Gautam Gambhir's appointment is a 'parchi' case," the former Pakistan cricket team star posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
