Rahul Dravid has been approached by BCCI

 

" The Indian cricket board's advisory committee, comprising Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, has approached batting legend Rahul Dravid - in charge of India A and India U 19 squads for almost a year now - to enquire whether he would be interested in taking over as chief coach of the senior team. "

Gr8 if he says yes, but still there wud b many gud batting coach options. 

One gr8 thing with dravid was his field setting which were damn aggresive, no matter what the guy always had slips. These ideas can take team long way in overseas 

 

But What this team needs most is a gud exp bowling coach like zaheer khan. Sa, Bang was helped by the fact of having someone like donald and streak by their side. We have someone like zaheer and there no point having him in commentry box. Zaheer attributes of being one of most skillfull and aggresive bowler can help this team. Also any player played under chappel wud have learned one thing how not to man manage ppl :winky:

True. The main requirement of this team is a bowling coach and we have a perfect candidate in zaheer. Someone who can teach our bowlers discipline and how to get out of tough situations.

Dravid is a fantastic choice and hope he accepts, he can teach youngsters how to play spin and how to catch in slips. Two of our biggest problem in recent years.

Do you guys even need a head coach ? You have a settled core of talented players who know their specific roles..a manager or a mentor would be enough IMO.. 

Would be great to see Ravi returning to com box ASAP..missed his golden voice sorely in CWC 15 and WT20.. it just doesn't feel like a world cup without hearing Ravi's booming voice :((

Dravid   if he agrees and Zaheer as batting and owling coaches.

No need for a pompous post ilke the Director.I still don't get what a director does./Is he a coach,manger or just a big head .Aish he aish with no acountability.

Shane Warne is possibly the best Option...first IPL was won by RR.

I see Shane as a very shred clever strategist.

He will always keep a leg spinner and get spinners to the next level. mean while he will be assisted by bharat arun and others...so a combo of Australian attitude and experience and Indian assistance will do wonders for INDIAN team.

warne would be great but despite what he says, i doubt he has much time....always seems to have 500 things going on at any moment

If any new coach is selected, it has to be with the concent of Dhoni. So most probably somebody who is agreeable to Dhoni might get selected. You all know Dhoni hates Leggies and hence Warne has no chance even if he agrees to become coach...

Things hopefully will get better when Dhoni finally leaves Indian cricket....

More than teach someone how to bat or bowl, we need someone who can read the conditions and situation properly, strategize effectively and motivate the players to take on challenges. Besides the names already mentioned on this thread, some of such candidates include:

 

  • Nasser Hussain - known to be a good captain for Eng. He was not sure about Ind in 2011 WC but since then appears to be smitten by Ind's success. He is also one of those players who worked hard to be competitive 
  • Shane Warne - brings in attacking style of cricket 
  • Adam Gilchrist - his captaincy was usually impressive 
  • Sehwag - I liked his captaincy. Always thought that he could have captained Ind in Tests. Used to make the right moves such as playing with a leg spinner, etc.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nasser Hussain is an established commentator and he's unlikely ready to give up long term commitment for a short term commitment like coaching us.

 

Sehwag is a huge YES !
