Following India’s batting failure in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25, especially that of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the BCCI is considering an addition of a batting coach to head coach Gautam Gambhir’s backroom staff.
Based on a Cricbuzz report, discussions have already started in the BCCI about a new batting coach, but bithing has been finalised yet. The report also added that few names are being considered which includes former domestic cricket heavyweights.
From the backroom staff during previous head coach Rahul Dravid’s time, only fielding coach T Dilip was retained as Gambhir ear began. Apart from Gambhir, India’s current coaching staff includes Morne Morkel (bowling coach), Abhishek Nayar (assistant coach) and Ryan ten Doeschate (assistant coach).
Mumbai stalwart Nayar, who played three ODIs for India, does the job of a batting coach in the Indian team, since he did the same under Gambhir at Kolkata Knight Riders. Former India cricketer Vikram Rathour was the batting coach during Dravid’s regime.
