India head coach Gautam Gambhir has reportedly received a death threat from "ISIS Kashmir" after the city of Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, was hit by a deadly terror attack on Tuesday (April 22).

News agency ANI quoted the Office of Gambhir as saying that the former BJP MP filed a police complaint to ensure the safety and security of himself and his family.

According to India Today, Gambhir got the threat via e-mail, which contained three chilling words 'I Kill You'.

"Former BJP MP and current head coach of the Indian cricket team, Gautam Gambhir, received a death threat from 'ISIS Kashmir'. On Wednesday, he approached the Delhi Police, filing a formal complaint for an FIR and seeking measures to safeguard his family's security," the office said.

While the first email threat to Gambhir was sent in the afternoon on Tuesday, the second one was received in the evening, both conveying the same message.

"We have been informed about an alleged threat mail received on an email ID associated with Gautam Gambhir. The same is being investigated. He is already a Delhi Police protectee, and we do not comment on specific security arrangements," said Delhi Police in a statement.

After the Pahalgam terror attack, Gambhir took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his heartfelt solidarity with the victims.

"Praying for the families of the deceased. Those responsible for this will pay. India will strike," Gambhir had tweeted.

Following India’s Champions Trophy 2025 triumph last month, Gautam Gambhir went to France for a family holiday. He has been back in the country since earlier this month.
