The search for Team India’s next head coach for the 2018 T20 World Cup is heating up, with major names like VVS Laxman and Anil Kumble in the running. However, what has caught the attention of cricket fans around the country is the surprising move by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to invite applications from regular fans for the position of men’s senior cricket team coach.

Fans went wild as the BCCI issued a call for candidates from all around the country, flooding the open-to-all Google Forms faster than a sixer in the final over. Social media is abuzz with screenshots of form submissions, with fans jokingly expressing their desire to coach Team India and lead them to victory in future tournaments.

The deadline for applications is set for May 27, 2024, with the BCCI stating that the selection process will include a thorough review of applications, personal interviews, and assessments of shortlisted candidates. The ideal candidate must be willing to meet the work expectations and pressures associated with handling marquee athletes.

It remains to be seen who will ultimately be chosen as the next head coach of Team India, but one thing is for sure – the cricketing world is in for an exciting ride with this unexpected twist in the search for a new coach.
