Head Coach Gautam Gambhir to miss IPL 2025 action as he jets off to France for vacation
As IPL 2025 approaches, India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has opted for a vacation, leaving the country during the tournament’s initial days. A video surfaced on social media showing Gambhir at the airport with his family, departing for France. Traveling with his wife Natasha and daughters Aazeen and Anaiza, Gambhir’s casual demeanor has raised eyebrows regarding his priorities as the coach of the Indian cricket team.
This break marks Gambhir’s first since leading India to victory in the Champions Trophy in Dubai last month, where they secured their first ICC title since 2013 by defeating South Africa. While IPL teams vie for playoff positions, Gambhir is preparing for India’s challenging five-test tour of England in June 2025, a series crucial for the team after recent setbacks against New Zealand and Australia.
Some fans question whether Gambhir should be scouting talent during the IPL, although his absence will not hinder selectors and management from fulfilling that role. While his vacation dates remain undisclosed, it is likely he may catch some IPL action after missing the early weeks of the tournament.
