Ravi Shasrti to be named India coach!

Not a bad choice. Anyway we mostly play at home for the next 18 months so he should have a comfortable start.
People have started to judge the guy as if they've been laying down their whole life researching on Sahtri's tactics. Let's be savage and have a go at him when he pulls off a Fletcher.

R u suggesting Kohli comes from a family of bhais and taporis :winky: I would have preferred Gavaskar as coach (I know, most hate him here) since he has amazing technical acumen, looks like he can keep the discipline and will naturally command respect of any one in the team.
The current Indian team is not particularly fond of Gavaskar.

Good for X-factor Rohit Sharma and Atom Bomb Rayudu #mumbailobby - :yay: Hopefully they will get their due :agree: Good for us viewers as Shaz will not be commentating ( have to tolerate him in IPL though ) Waz will be depressed as he will sit for hrs in commentary box with his soulmate only once an year :((

So to summarise the world’s richest cricket board appoints a glorified media cheerleader with zero coaching credentials to become the world’s most highly paid cricket coach (will earn 40% more than Fletcher) :facepalm: Wow - sounds more like a sketch from a comedy show. So who else did the BCCI interview for the job? Was there a shortlist? Is there even a strategy? It appears being a loud sycophant pays well thesedays.

Its not correct to say he has zero coaching credentials...Within a short time he has gained the backing and support of the team..Kohli said that it was shastri who suggested a change in his batting technique which helped him score so well in Australia..

Not surprised. He just comes off as impatient, short-tempered and over-critical. Not good qualities in a coach. Again, none of us know these guys personally, so it's all speculation.

His role doesn't seem to be as Coach but more as Director of cricket (or team director) with 3 coaches (Batting Bowling Fielding) assisting him . Two year contract as well based on cricinfo .As long Kohli is happy with the decision and has a good relationship with him good decision imo Ultimately coaches are irrelevant mostly in (Indian) cricket . It's always Captain who has the main authority and Coach more of a supportive role .

Bad choice I think. Anyways no more Shastribot in the commentary box for another 4 years. :yay:
Indian origin coaches won't enjoy a 4 year free ride irrespective of results.

Ravishankar has been very blunt about his role - he's not the coach - Bangar and the other boys will do the coaching heavy-lifting. Amrita's Ex will strut around and handle the media, and inject "positivity" into the boys.

I don't think him being the coach means much. The respective coaches for each field (batting, bowling and fielding) will do most of the coaching anyway. Not a terrible decision though. Should be interesting to see how he does.

Kohli belong to a good family but he comes from NORTH INDIA. MC/BC is pretty common there
