Hardly any Indian batsman made a mark in the New Zealand Test series, including captain and second-ranked Test batsman in the world Virat Kohli
Despite failing to win a single IPL trophy since 2013 under Virat Kohli's captaincy, Royal Challengers Bangalore's newly-appointed director of cricket operations Mike Hesson has ruled out any change in leadership for the franchise.
Mike Hesson, a former New Zealand coach who was pipped by incumbent Ravi Shastri for the job of India, has been roped in as the Director of Cricket Operations Mike Hesson by IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
Royal Challengers Bangalore have announced a major overhaul to their support staff, sacking Gary Kirsten and Ashish Nehra as the mentor and bowling coach respectively, and bringing in Mike Hesson as director of cricket and Simon Katich as head coach.
According to reports, an Indian candidate for the head coach position was specifically asked how he would handle a fight between superstars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
Ravi Shastri's record as India's coach and his familiarity with Virat Kohli's team couldn't be ignored by the Kapil Dev-led Cricket Advisory Committee that also included former Test opener and coach Anshuman Gaekwad and former women's team captain Shantha Rangaswamy.
The three-member selection committee headed by Kapil Dev said Ravi Shastri won by a "very small margin" and the selection process was "completely transparent". Shastri will stay with the team until the T20 World Cup of 2021 to be played in India.
Former West Indies opener Phil Simmons has pulled out of the race for Indian cricket team's head coach position. Robin Singh, Tom Moody, Lalchand Rajput are done with their interviews. Mike Hesson and Ravi Shastri are still left.
In 21 Tests since July 2017, under Ravi Shastri, the Indian cricket team won 13 of them. In T20Is, India registered 25 victories from 36 games with a win percentage of 69.44. The ODI record takes the cake with 43 wins in 60 games and a success rate of 71.67.
What are the chances of the other five candidates – Tom Moody, Mike Hesson, Robin Singh, Lalchand Rajput and Phil Simmons – to replace Ravi Shastri as the head coach of Indian national men's cricket team? Here is a quick look at their respective profiles and chances
