VVS Laxman as Coach for IND vs SA T20I: Team India will play a four match T20 series against South Africa which will start from November 8, meanwhile, a report in Cricbuzz claims that there will be a change in the team coaching staff due to which Gautam Gambhir will not be seen as the coach of Team India but VVS Laxman will be seen handling this responsibility in his place, the report further states that Gautam Gambhir will also be given rest before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia which is a big series so that he can join the team refreshed.

The Indian Test team has to go to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar series. The team will leave for Australia on 10 November. During this time, there is also a Test series against South Africa, which is why VVS Laxman, who is the head of NCA, is going with the team as a coach. Four T20 matches against South Africa will be played on 8, 10, 13 and 15 November. The matches will be held in Durban, Gqeberha, Centurion and Johannesburg.

A team consisting of young players has been selected for the T20 series against South Africa. The captain of this team is Suryakumar Yadav but many new players have been included in the squad.

India T20I squad for South Africa Series: Suryakumar Yadav (C), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (WK), Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Avesh Khan, Yash Dayal.

Laxman's temporary role as head coach may seem like a straightforward solution, it underscores a broader strategy by the BCCI to leverage seasoned coaches from the NCA for international assignments. This setup allows continuity in the coaching pipeline, ensuring that the players are guided by familiar faces who understand both their strengths and areas for growth

On the other hand coming days are very difficult for Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir. In fact, Team India has lost the T20 series at its home. New Zealand has won the first two matches of the 3-Test series and now the team has to tour Australia where it will have to win the Test series by a good margin. Only then will this team be able to reach the final of the World Test Championship.
