Gautam Gambhir's Fee As Team India's Coach Is 52 Percent Less Than What He Got To Mentor KKR In IPL

Gautam Gambhir had a successful reign as a player in the Indian cricket team and he even played a crucial role in the 2011 ICC World Cup. He was the leading force behind KKR's three IPL wins, twice bagging the trophy as captain and once as the team's mentor. Now, Gautam has taken over as the Indian team's head coach, and his staggering fees will blow your mind.

Gautam Gambhir's fee as Indian cricket coach is the same as his predecessor, Rahul Dravid 

After Rahul Dravid's successful tenure as the Indian cricket team's coach, which culminated in the T20 World Cup victory, VVS Laxman took over as the interim coach for the T20 Zimbabwe series. The continuity in coaching was maintained when Gautam Gambhir was appointed as the new coach of the Indian cricket team by the ICC authorities, ensuring a smooth transition and a promising future for the team.
