From VVS Laxman To Ashish Nehra..5 Former Indian Players Most Likely To Replace Rahul Dravid As India’s Head Coach After ICC World Cup 2023

5. VVS Laxman

VVS Laxman is the first player on this list. Like Rahul Dravid, Laxman is also a Test legend. The 48-year-old played for India from 1996 to 2006. The former right-handed batsman is the Head of Cricket at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) currently.

Hence, he is among the best choices to replace Dravid, if BCCI decides to part ways with the latter. Laxman has good coaching experience too. He was also part of the BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee, which provides insights to the Indian Cricket Board on various issues.

4. Sourav Ganguly

Sourav Ganguly is another name who can replace Rahul Dravid as head coach of the Indian team. Ganguly was a successful Indian skipper in the early 2000s. He also held the BCCI chief’s hat in the previous term.

The former left-handed batter was an aggressive captain and his attitude can help Team India to dominate in international cricket. Hence, Ganguly is another good choice to become head coach of India after the ICC World Cup 2023.

3. Virender Sehwag

Popular as a hard-hitter opener, Virender Sehwag dominated the opening slot for India during his career. Sehwag played for India from 1999 to 2012, smacking more than 17000 runs in international cricket.

With 3 triple tons in Test, Sehwag also holds a rare record in Tests. He is a popular commentator and also plays in franchise leagues of former players. Sehwag has coaching experience with the Punjab Kings team in Indian Premier League. Thus, he can be another decent option to replace Raul Dravid as head coach.

2. Anil Kumble

Anil Kumble became the head coach earlier in 2017 but left his post midway. He is a former skipper and leg spinner. Kumble is also the leading wicket-taker for India in international cricket. The 52-year-old represented Team India from 1990 to 2007.

The former right-arm spinner also holds the record of hunting 10 wickets in a single Test innings. He has also led Punjab Kings as the head coach. Hence, Kumble can be handed an opportunity to become India’s head coach if Rahul Dravid is removed after ICC World Cup 2023.

1. Ashish Nehra

Ashish Nehra is another player on this list. As a head coach of Gujarat Titans, Nehra has done a wonderful job in Indian Premier League. The Hardik Pandya-led side reached the finals of IPL 2022 and IPL 2023, winning the title once.

Nehra has showcased his analytical skills in coaching and impressed everyone. With his success in IPL, the former left-arm pacer can also be urged to become India’s head coach after ICC World Cup 2023.
