The BCCI is thinking about hiring a new batting coach for the Indian men’s cricket team. While no official announcement has been made, discussions within the team suggest that changes are needed in the support staff to improve results.

The coaching staff has been under pressure after India’s poor tour of Australia and their struggles in Test cricket recently. The batting has been a major concern, with key players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma not living up to expectations. Kohli’s habit of getting out in the same manner repeatedly has raised questions about the team’s approach to batting and whether fresh ideas are needed.

According to a report by Cricbuzz, the BCCI is considering strengthening Gautam Gambhir’s coaching team. Currently, the setup includes bowling coach Morne Morkel, assistant coaches Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate, and fielding coach T Dilip. Interestingly, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has expressed interest in taking the batting coach role if the BCCI decides to make the position available.

India has had well-known batting coaches in the past. Vikram Rathour served in the role under Rahul Dravid and Ravi Shastri, while Sanjay Bangar was also a part of the setup earlier. Both brought their own styles to the team, but some feel it’s time for a new specialist to bring in fresh ideas.

A meeting held in Mumbai on January 11 reportedly included discussions about the coaching staff. While it’s unclear if any decisions were made, there are suggestions that a new batting coach could help address the team’s current problems.

For now, the BCCI hasn’t made any moves, but it’s clear that improving the batting setup is a priority for the team going forward.
