Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid again failed to bring home an ICC title as they lost the World Test Championship final against Australia by 209. Frustration has emerged among Indian fans as the team has continuously failed to get that last step multiple times in the last decade. The fans are calling for the sacking of the coach Rahul Dravid, blaming him for the team's failures and many ex-cricketers are in the run for the job.
Rahul Dravid’s tenure as the Indian team's coach has not gone the way everybody had hoped as India failed to get to the final of the Asia Cup 2022, lost in the semifinals of the 2022 T20I World Cup, and now lost in the WTC final. Dravid’s future with the team is currently under doubt after multiple failures.
Here are three former cricketers who can become India’s coach:
1) Stephen Fleming
Popularly called the “best captain in World cricket” by the likes of Shane Warne, the Kiwi was an excellent strategist as a captain and has transferred his success to coaching. After retiring in 2009, he was immediately handed the coaching job at the IPL franchise, Chennai Super Kings, and has led them to five titles and multiple runner-up finishes in his 12 years of coaching with the team. During CSK's two-year suspension, he coached Rising Pune Super Giants, and they finished runners-up in one of the two seasons. If the board can bring the serial winner in, it will certainly help the mentality in the dressing room and could bring us trophies. One disadvantage here is that Fleming has never coached an international side and doesn’t have experience coaching year-round.
