India Coach Application Deadline Ends: No Top Foreign Names Apply, VVS Laxman Not Interested, Gautam Gambhir…

The deadline for applying for the post of Indian men's cricket team chief coach ended on Monday but both the BCCI and the top name in its wishlist, Gautam Gambhir chose to keep mum on the development. After guiding Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL trophy on Sunday, it is but natural that Gambhir's name is getting more momentum. While both interested parties haven't said anything on record, the BCCI, it seems, doesn't have too many quality options available at the moment.

It is understood that no notable foreign name has applied for the post, especially after BCCI secretary Jay Shah made it clear that the Board is looking at someone who has risen through the ranks and knows the domestic structure.

It could be safely said that the BCCI's primary target was VVS Laxman, the National Cricket Academy head, but the stylish Hyderabadi seems not interested in a full time position which requires him to available for 10 months a year.

"The deadline is fine, but the BCCI brass wouldn't mind taking some more time before reaching a decision. Right now, the team will be busy with World T20 for the better part of the month of June. After that seniors will be rested from tours of Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe where any of the NCA-based senior coaches can accompany the team. So what's the hurry," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.

Also, KKR principal owner Shah Rukh Khan shares a deep bond with Gambhir and it is not easy to leave an IPL team which has been a part of identity for the former India opener.

There's another aspect that needs to be look into seriously -- what senior India players, currently in New York, feel on whether Gambhir can indeed be Rahul Dravid's replacement.

A New Era in Indian Cricket: Will Chase Master Virat Kohli Resurrect?

Virat Kohli is one of the most dominant Indian Cricketer of all time. Being referred to as the Chase Master, he had also experienced a very severe career lean patch. Most importantly, he has made an incredible return because of his commitment to the game and diligence.

The Emergence.

Virat Kohli gained the attention of the World when he led the U19 India to a title win in 2008 held in Malaysia. He was drafted into India’s senior side and picked by the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise in the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League 2008.

Virat made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka in 2008, T20 debut against Zimbabwe in 2010, and Test debut against West Indies in 2011. Since then he has made a strong impact in Indian Cricket with his batting and leadership skills.  

Since his debut, he has become the most consistent player in all formats. He always surprises fans with his chase and animated celebration on the field. The world expects a Century whenever he steps into the field. As he raised such a bar in the Cricket World.

Top Master Class by Chase Master Virat Kohli

86 balls 133* against Sri Lanka in Commonwealth Bank ODI Series, Hobart 2012

 It was a breakthrough innings from a young boy from Delhi on the Australian tour as he destroyed one of the greatest death-over bowlers Lasith Malinga in his prime. Sri Lanka has put a Huge Total of 320 runs with centuries from both Tilakaratne Dilshan and Kumara Sangakkara. India needed to chase down the target inside 40 overs to stay alive in the triangular series

Once India lost both the openers for 86-2, Virat built 112 run partnership with Gautham Gambir which ended in the 28th over, and with the help of Suresh Raina easily chased a huge total of 321 in 36.4 overs. Where he smashed three fours in the 31st over of Nuwan Kulasekara and destroyed prime Lasith Malinga by smashing four boundaries and a six in the 35th over, which also brought his Century in the first ball of the over. He ended the match with two boundaries in the 37th over and won the match for India.

52 balls 100* against Australia in the 2nd ODI, Australia tour of India, Jaipur 2013

Australia scores a whopping 359 runs in 50 overs, hammering the Indian bowlers by having each of its top five order batsmen score fifty runs. We appreciate the bowlers’ assistance in enabling us to see one of the biggest run chases in ODI history.

 When chasing the 360-run goal, openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan put together a sizable partnership of 176 runs in just 26 overs. Virat Kohli walked in and started playing his strokes after Shikhar Dhawan was removed for 95 runs.

With an innings that resembled a T20, Virat Kohli reached the half-century mark in just 27 balls and showed no mercy to the Australian bowlers. In the following 25 balls, he scored a hundred runs with a searing knock. Smashing eight boundaries and seven over the roof to record the quickest ODI century by an Indian. Eventually, India chased the target of 360 runs in just 44 overs with nine wickets to spare.

The Fall.

Virat Kohli, the backbone of Indian batting, suffered a loss of form during the 2014 England tour. He has struggled with the bat in the entire series with scores of 1, 8, 25, 0, 39, 28, 0, and 7 from four Tests. 

As James Anderson frequently got him out for balls that were outside the off-stump. As his confidence likely reached its lowest point in his career, he received harsh criticism from cricket enthusiasts and experts around the world. 

The Rise.

Virat Kohli made a strong comeback and demonstrated why he is regarded as the greatest white-ball player of his generation in 2016.

Before the 2016 IPL, Kohli has never scored a century in T20 cricket. He wasn’t ineffective by any means in the format, but he didn’t get the big numbers as he did in tests and one-day internationals. But in the ninth IPL season, he completely changed everything in a dramatic way.

In IPL 2016, Kohli eventually hit an amazing four hundred. This still stands as the record for the most hundreds a batsman has scored in a single T20 event worldwide.

The Finest chase by the maestro of the chase was seen by the world.

The sheer talent with which the Delhi batsman turned the game around in just 12 balls makes this masterclass stand out among the others. After losing to New Zealand in their initial match, India was under a lot of pressure to win the Super 10 encounter against Australia in order to advance to the World T20 semifinals. After crucial contributions from Aaron Finch, Glenn Maxwell, and Shane Watson, India was given a target of 161.

After a strong start from the openers, India was in serious difficulty at 50/3 after 8 overs, with a requirement of 9 runs per over. However, with Yuvraj Singh chewing up the balls and India needing 81 runs from the final 8 overs, the run rate increased as high as 10. Virat Kohli used his outstanding batting to cast a spell with 59 to get off the final 30 balls. With the help of MS Dhoni, Kohli scored 12 runs from the 16th over by converting singles into doubles with lightning-fast agility between the wickets.

However, after Shane Watson conceded just 8 runs in the subsequent over, it appeared as though India was going to be eliminated from the competition. With two fours and a breathtaking six off James Faulkner, Kohli turned the tide for India and brought the deficit to 20 runs in 12 balls. In the 19th over Virat smashed consecutive Four straight boundaries. In response, the Indian skipper sent the audience into a frenzy by hitting the opening ball of the last over for a boundary. This knock will stay on for years and can be bettered only by the Chase Master himself in the future.

The Fall of King.

Having reached his last century in 2019, the seasoned cricketer is currently through the toughest period of his career. The fact that Virat Kohli is finding it difficult to score runs, especially in the IPL, has drawn a lot of attention. Kohli’s lack of centuries was the only issue up until last year, but this year, since he gave up the captaincy in all forms, Kohli’s form has considerably declined.

 While many thought that relinquishing the captaincy would unleash Kohli the batter and allow the India superstar to regain his free-flowing form. 

 Kohli has fallen outside the top 10 in the ICC Test rankings for the first time in six years. He also slips out of the top 3 ODI ranking after 7 long years. He now holds the 24th spot in the ICC T20 rankings. Throughout his entire career, this appears to be his leanest form.

As we all know, for every 2014, there was 2016. For every setback, he has made a greater comeback.
