Gautam Gambhir Receives Two Threat Emails

The email that Head Coach Gautam Gambhir had received contained three chilling words, "I kill you", as reported by India Today. Gambhir reportedly received two threat emails, one in the afternoon and another in the evening. Both emails had the same content.

This is not the first time that the former India player has received death threats. Gambhir was threatened in November 2021 while he was a serving member of parliament. Gambhir is currently on a break from his coaching duties as all the Indian players are busy playing the Indian Premier League.

The Head Coach had recently visited France with his family members after India won the Champions Trophy in March. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had appointed Gautam Gambhir as the Head Coach of the Indian team after Rahul Dravid stepped down. Prior to that, Gambhir had led the Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL trophy as a mentor.
