After Team India's crushing defeat in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, the Indian Cricket Board is taking big and tough decisions one after the other. BCCI has made many new rules for the players. Now there has been another change in Team India. Before the big tournament like Champions Trophy, BCCI, following the advice of head coach Gautam Gambhir, has appointed new batting coach Sitanshu Kotak in Team India. The T-20 series between India and England is starting from January 22 and before this, Sitanshu will join Team India in Kolkata. The first T20 between India and England is to be played in Kolkata only.
