Ashish Nehra for Team India Head Coach: Confirmation Pending !!

The Indian team had to face defeat by 6 wickets against Australia in the final of the ODI World Cup 2023. With the end of the World Cup, Rahul Dravid’s tenure has also ended. Currently, Team India is playing a five-match T20 series against Australia. In this, VVS Laxman is fulfilling the responsibility of the coach. He is also the Chief of the National Cricket Academy and is at the forefront of the race to become a coach. Now BCCI has offered a former Indian player to become the coach of the T20 team. Let us know about it.

Offer given to this veteran

According to the report of Indian Express, BCCI had offered former Indian fast bowler Ashish Nehra to become the coach of the shortest format of cricket, which Nehra rejected. Nehra is the coach of the Gujarat Titans in IPL. Under his coaching, the Gujarat team won the IPL 2022 title and made it to the finals of IPL 2023. Where Gujarat had to face defeat from CSK in the final.

The T20 World Cup will be held next year

After Ashish Nehra’s refusal, BCCI wants Rahul Dravid to remain the coach of Team India till next year’s T20 World Cup and BCCI is ready to give him a new contract. The T20 World Cup 2024 is to be played in America and the West Indies. Indian captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar also believe that Dravid should remain the coach till the next T20 World Cup. But Dravid has not yet given any answer on this. If Dravid accepts to become the coach, likely, key support staff like bowling coach Paras Mhambrey and batting coach Vikram Rathore will likely also be given new contracts.

India has to tour South Africa

When Rahul Dravid was asked a question about his future in the Indian team as the head coach, he said that I have not thought about it. I don’t have time to think about it and don’t even have time to consider it. I will do so when I find time to do so. Under Dravid’s coaching, India played the final of the Test Championship 2021-23 and the final of the World Cup 2023. Apart from this, Team India also reached the final in T20 World Cup 2022. The Indian team has to tour South Africa from 10th December. For this reason, BCCI can decide on this.
