The last date to apply for the position was Monday, May 27, after which the BCCI was to decide on the next Team India coach. The BCCI invited applications for the post of head coach through a Google form on May 13, and since then a flood of fake applicants is being seen every day. They had to face similar problems in 2022. A BCCI source was quoted by the Indian Express as saying, “Last year too, BCCI had received such feedback where many fake people had applied and this time too the story is the same. The reason BCCI is inviting applications on Google Form is that it is easy to check the names of the applicants in a sheet. The names of the applicants also include Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, Union Minister Amit Shah, former Indian cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni.” After the T20 World Cup 2024, Team India has to tour Zimbabwe. At that time, some big players of Team India may decide to rest. Not only this, the Indian team will also have got a new head coach by then. It is said that the current head coach Rahul Dravid has not expressed his desire for this responsibility again. According to the information, some big and veteran former Indian players have applied. It is believed that this time too the Indian team will get an Indian head coach, there can also be a foreign coach, but the possibility of this seems very low at the moment. However, if sources are to be believed, Gautam Gambhir is currently leading in the race to become the head coach.
