Posted on 21st Nov 2023 by rohit kumar

The tenure of Team India head coach Rahul Dravid ended after the ODI World Cup 2023. After Ravi Shastri, Dravid took over the reins of the Indian team along with captain Rohit Sharma.

 

During the tenure of Rahul Dravid, the Indian team played one World Test Champions final, one T-20 World Cup, and one ODI World Cup, but the ICC trophy drought could not end.

 

 

After the World Cup, India will now play a five-match T20 series against Australia (IND vs AUS), which will start on November 23. In such a situation, there is no information at present on whether coach Rahul Dravid's contract will be renewed or not, but after coach Dravid, which three players are strong contenders for this post, let us know their names.

 

After Rahul Dravid, these 3 legends are at the forefront in the race to become the head coach of Team India.

 

1. VVS Laxman

The name of VVS Laxman is number one on the list, and he is being considered a contender for the post of head coach of Team India. If Dravid does not extend his contract, then BCCI may think of making Laxman the head coach.

 

Laxman joined BCCI as Chief of NCA. Let us tell you that Dravid was also the NCA Chief before becoming the coach. Laxman has a lot of experience as a coach. He started his coaching career in the year 2013 when he joined Sunrisers Hyderabad team as a mentor. After joining BCCI in 2021, Laxman had to leave his job.

 

2. Anil Kumble

The name of former Indian legend Anil Kumble, who has played 220 matches at the international level, is second on the list and is considered a contender for this post. He was the head coach of Team India in the year 2016, but due to differences with captain Virat Kohli, he had to leave his post. In the year 2017, it reached the final of the Champion Trophy under the coaching of Kumble.

 

3. Virender Sehwag

The name of former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag is third place in the list, he is also being considered a contender for this post. Sehwag is not associated with any IPL franchise. In such a situation, he can join BCCI. Sehwag wanted to become the coach of the Indian team only two years after his retirement. He had applied for head coach in 2017, although this time BCCI itself may give him the contract if Sehwag is ready to become the coach.
