Twitter Reactions: Sehwag Rumoured To Become The New Head Coach
Jun 20, 2017 at 10:55 PM
Head Coach Anil Kumble has resigned from his position with immediate effect. There were hints about this decision in the pipeline after Kumble stayed back in London as Team India prepared for the upcoming tour of West Indies. This announcement puts an end to all the speculations and rumours surrounding the ‘Head Coach’ debate that has been making the headline since the last few week.
The original one-year contract was already slated to end after the conclusion of the Champions Trophy 2017 but it was heavily speculated in recent days that Kumble could get an extension following the end to the controversy which reported a tiff between Kumble and skipper Virat Kohli.
Kumble was being seen as the outgoing man after reports of some players not being happy with the methods used by him. These cracks in the Indian camps seems to be the foremost reason behind the dismal ending to his tenure.
Later, it was almost evident that Kumble might not continue after the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) chose not to renew his the one-year long contract and invited fresh applications.
Former India batsman, Virender Sehwag, has also applied for the position of the head coach. Australian Tom Moody and Englishman Richard Pybus, who has coached Pakistan earlier are the other notable names likely to stake their claim. Former fast bowler Dodda Ganesh and former India A coach Lalchand Rajput have also applied for the top role in the Indian coaching set-up.
Twitter had a mixed reaction. A majority of them were unhappy but a few felt it was a correct decision as they felt he was unsuitable for the role.

Anil Kumble has done right by quitting post of India coach. He has been a failure as coach. His ego let the team down. #BCCI #CT17Final
