New Delhi, June 1:
Virender Sehwag today became the most notable applicant for the Indian cricket team’s chief coach’s post, which would be technically vacant when Anil Kumble’s term comes to an end after the Champions Trophy.
While Kumble is an automatic entry into the process, the others in the fray are Australian Tom Moody and Englishman Richard Pybus, who has coached Pakistan earlier.
The two Indians among applicants are former fast bowler Dodda Ganesh and former India A coach Lalchand Rajput.
Moody and Rajput had applied for the chief coach’s job last year also but it was Kumble, who got the nod.
However, the entry of Sehwag — one of India’s greatest ever game changer — makes the battle for the position very interesting.
One of India’s biggest match-winners and a part of two- time World Cup winning team, Sehwag played 104 Tests and 251 ODIs for India scoring 8586 and 8273 runs respectively. (PTI)
