The Indian cricket team is going through a transitional phase where they are testing their young talents. Through this Rahul Dravid’s coaching tenure has experienced varied results as the team was dealing with a lot of injuries. According to the sources BCCI has decided to part ways with Dravid after the completion of the upcoming World Cup. Here are 3 Successful Cricket Coaches who can end India’s World Cup Trophy drought.
Despite being the richest board in the world of cricket, team India has failed to win any ICC trophy since their 2013 Champions Trophy triumph. Since then BCCI has changed 5 coaches to improve the results but it couldn’t really help the team’s performance in ICC tournaments.
After Duncan Fletchrer’s 4 year tenure ended in 2015, BCCI looked forward to Ravi Shastri managing the team only for a year as he was replaced by Anil Kumble in 2016.
However, even Kumble couldn’t change the faith of the Indian team and he was sacked after India’s defeat in the Champions Trophy 2017 Final against Pakistan. Kumble was sacked despite making India reach the final of the tournament Kumble was sacked which popped the rumor of Kohli and Kumble’s rift in between.
Ravi Shastri was brought back into the head coach position in 2017 and he remained in the position for the next 4 years. After a shambolic exit of the Indian team from the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, BCCI decided to give a chance to Rahul Dravid who did a great job as a Under-19 coach.
After the completion of 2 years in Dravid’s holding India faced defeat in the T20 World Cup 2022 and WTC Championship 2023 final at the Oval.
3 Great Choices for Team India Coach after Rahul Dravid
India’s trophy hunting has been going on for a long time now which has raised fingers on the BCCI committee. The board is looking forward to changing the Head coach if Dravid fails to make India lift the ODI World Cup 2023 taking place in India.
The BCCI will look towards the established coaches in this tie rather than giving a chance to a well-known player.
Ricky Ponting (Australia)
Undoubtedly the greatest captain of all time Ricky Ponting will be the top priority of the BCCI to replace Dravid from head coach position. Punter has been coaching the IPL franchise Delhi Capitals for a long time now in which he has completely changed the fortune of the franchise.
Ashish Nehra (India)
The left-arm fast bowler is also a good fit for India if they want to have an Indian coach on their team. Nehra is an excellent coach as he shaped the Gujarat Titans in such a way that the team has finished at the top of the IPL points table in their first two seasons.
Stephen Fleming (New Zealand)
Fleming is another well-established and decorated coach who has won IPL recently with Chennai Super Kings. He is acting the CSK coach since the inception of IPL. With 5 IPL trophies, Fleming is the most successful coach in league’s history.
