Team India New Head Coach: The official deadline to apply for the Indian Men's Cricket Team Head Coach post is 27th May 2024. BCCI has clarified that no Australian cricketer has been approached for this and has kept silent about the names applied for. If we read the lines of BCCI Secretary Jai Shah's last statement, Rahul Dravid's replacement is likely to be an Indian. There is talk that India's star batsman Gautam Gambhir may be entrusted with the responsibility of the Indian head coach. But, Virat Kohli's childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma said a different name.

“The Dronacharya Award winning coach came forward in the name of the legendary cricketer MS Dhoni. First of all, it will be interesting to see which names apply for this post. I want whoever becomes a coach to be an Indian. If Mahendra Singh Dhoni announces his retirement, he can be a good option. Dhoni has played a lot of cricket and won big tournaments,” said Rajkumar Sharma on India News' program Cricket Predicta.

Dhoni has not officially announced his IPL retirement. IPL 2024 was considered to be the last match for former India captain Dhoni. However, no official information has come out about this yet. CSK CEO Kashi Vishwanath has expressed the hope that Dhoni will represent the Chennai team for one more season.

Rajkumar Sharma said, “Dhoni is a successful captain who has won two World Cups. When he took over the captaincy, the Indian team created a new identity. Dhoni handled many things well. Team planning and proper management is the most important thing in a team. “When Dhoni became the captain, there were big players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh,” said Sharma.

Dhoni worked as a guide with the Indian team in the 2021 T20 World Cup in UAE. Former India fast bowler Atul Wasan gave a different view on the role of a coach in T20 cricket. I think the position of coach should be removed in T20 cricket and replaced by mentor and format specialist.

As AB de Villiers is a specialist in T20 cricket. The West Indies team ruled the world cricket from 1979 to 1989. Is it because of your coach? India won the World Cup in 1983 and 2007 because of its coach. According to me, a coach's job is limited to taking the team from the field to the hotel. I will not blame the coach for the team's defeat and I will not give credit for the team's victory. As in football, there are managers, not coaches. Similarly, in cricket too, instead of a coach, there should be a manager who takes care of the team. Dravid's contract as India's head coach will end this year after the T20 World Cup.
