The official deadline to apply for the Indian men’s cricket team’s head coach role ended on May 27 (Monday), a day after IPL 2024 finished. Apart from clearing that no Australian cricketer has been approached for the same, the BCCI has stayed tight-lipped about the names that have applied. If one reads between the lines of BCCI secretary Jay Shah’s last statement, then Rahul Dravid’s replacement is likely to be an Indian. Reports suggest it is most likely to be Gautam Gambhir. However, Virat Kohli’s childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, has a different opinion.
The Dronacharya awardee coach floated in legendary cricketer MS Dhoni’s name. “First of all, it will be interesting to see which names apply for this post. I would like that whoever becomes the coach should be an Indian. If Mahendra Singh Dhoni announces retirement, he can prove to be a good option. He (Dhoni) has played a lot of cricket and has won big tournaments,” he said on India News’ program CRICIT PREDICTA.
