In this article, we will talk about Vikram Rathour, his career, salary and batting stats as he might get a call as the next head coach of the Indian cricket team
The debate over who will be Team India’s next coach is heating up. Ravi Shastri’s stint as coach will come to an end after this year’s T20 World Cup. Former cricketer Rahul Dravid’s prospects of becoming the coach are slim since he has filed for another position as the director of the National Cricket Academy (NCA). Vikram Rathore, the batting coach, has emerged as the front-runner for the post of Team India Coach in these circumstances.
Why not Rahul Dravid As The New Coach Of Team India
Rahul Dravid, the former captain of Team India, is now the director of the National Cricket Academy. The first term of Dravid’s tenure as director of the National Cricket Academy is concluding soon. As a result, the BCCI has made the application forms for the new director available. Rahul Dravid has reapplied for the position of NCA director.
This indicates that Rahul Dravid intends to keep his position as NCA director for the time being. Vikram Rathour, the current batting coach, may profit the most from Rahul Dravid’s departure.

He has been the Indian cricket team’s batting coach for some time. India had won the Test series in Australia while he was the batting coach. Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma have all worked with him to enhance their batting techniques. Rathour has also been working closely with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in England, following their recurrent forms of dismissal in the Test series thus far.
We hope that the best man gets the job as it is something which will help Indian cricket grow and lead to a future.
