India’s bowling attack needs a review in the next few months. Barring Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, not many fast bowlers are doing consistently well. At the same time, these players have injury issues and the likes of Shami also do not have age on their side. Hence, a new bowling coach is the need of the hour for the Indian Team. Here, we take a look at three candidates India must target as the next bowling coach.
1) Shaun Pollock
Shaun Pollock is one of the candidates India must target as the next bowling coach. It is a surprise that Shaun Pollock has not involved himself much as a coach despite having a plethora of experience.
It was when IPL started that Pollock was with Mumbai Indians as a coach. After that, he has hardly done the role. He has a lot of experience and knows how to do well in various conditions. Hence, he is a part of the list.
2) Bharat Arun
It is important for an Indian bowling coach to back which bowler and not to back which. With the resources available in India, this could be a tough ask. Hence, sometimes, it is necessary that the bowling coach has enough knowledge of the grassroots.
Bharat Arun was excellent at this when he was with Team India. It was also under him that India gained so many crucial overseas Test wins. Currently a coach at KKR, if it is possible to get him back in the Indian Team, there would be a lot of benefits.
3) Zaheer Khan
Zaheer Khan is currently associated with the Mumbai Indians family. Hence, in the first place, getting him outside could be a challenge, especially considering the success he has had.
However, Zaheer Khan is the perfect option to become the bowling coach of Team India. He knows what it is to play for India and the challenges that the bowlers face. From the mental aspect, as well, he would add a lot of value.
