Virender Sehwag and Tom Moody are leading the race for the next coach of the Indian Cricket Team. This, after BCCI officially asked applicants to apply for the top job. Team India current coach Anil Kumble is apparently asking for a absurd hike in salary and that is cited as the prime reason for BCCI taking this move. Virender Sehwag was closely working with the Kings XI Punjab in the recently concluded Indian Premier League. Tom Moody, the former Australian all rounder has also applied for the post of India’s next coach. Apparently, earlier Virat Kohli and Anil Kumble also had a tiff over Kuldeep Yadav, the young chinaman.

Lalchand Rajput, who was a associated as a manager when team India won the inaugural T20I World Cup. This is an information that we have got from BCCI. The Indian cricket team is currently in England for the ICC Champions Trophy, where they will look to defend their title they won in 2013 in the same country.

Tom Moody, could be the next Indian coach, he had applied in the past for this job but now he has a good sub continental experience because he has been associated with Sri Lankan cricket, so he could be a front-runner for the post. Doda Ganesh is a former express fast bowler, he may be less experienced but he has good understanding of Indian pitches and that is bound to help.
