England vs India 2018: Twitterati wants Anil Kumble to replace Ravi Shastri as a head coach

The selection of head coach for Indian cricket was a regular buzz during those times. However, in the end, it was Ravi Shastri who bagged the reigns ahead of Anil Kumble after the support from the Indian skipper Virat Kohli.

Meanwhile, the Indian cricket fans aren’t impressed with the way things panned out for India. They lashed out at the Board of Control for Cricket in India to sack Ravi Shastri as the head coach of the team after a poor outing to England.

Bring back Anil Kumble in place of Ravi Shastri – Indian fans

Team India enjoyed quite a success under Kumble’s watchful eyes. India completely outsmarted the oppositions in home conditions and reached the finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 which has been the last tournament for Kumble as head coach as well.

However, then there were rumours came out regarding the rift between Virat Kohli and Anil Kumble over team selection. In the end, it resulted in the ouster of Anil Kumble and the rumours turned true as well.

Meanwhile, the selection of Ravi Shastri hasn’t served well for India. Recently, Ravi Shastri was criticised for his poor fitness and a lot of memes have been carried out on his fitness levels as well.

The debacle in England pushed the bar in fans to ask BCCI bring back Anil Kumble as the head coach. It was the time under Anil Kumble when Team India enjoyed quite a success in all formats of the game and became ruthless.

Initially, the Advisory panel suggested the likes of Rahul Dravid and Zaheer Khan to travel with the team for overseas. However, it went for the toss-up as the head coach Ravi Shastri isn’t comfortable with the decision.

Here are the few Tweets:

Even now if we want to win in Australia Anil Kumble is a must. Otherwise a series with sri Lanka will be organised and everything will be back to normal.

Absolutely spot on @RaviShastriOfc is no way a coach.. He is good commentator… @bcci made mistake by sacking @anilkumble1074 and now team is paying price of this…

Team India needs a better coach than the current show off – essentially a commentator and formerly poor cricketer. Common get Dravid or Anil Kumble for the top job. They were world class during their playing days. Both are good at coaching.

Doesn’t get the balance right. His bowling changes are abysmal. He got @anilkumble1074 replaced by that idiot Shastri just because he wanted a yes-man. Disregards Jadeja. Better to get someone else to captain and for him to concentrate on batting!

Imagine dravid guidance in Eng tour. Nd kumble idea to play Kuldeep in Aus series last year won us the series. So change the coach throw shitty pandya bring dravid things will improve play practice matches

I agree but am not sure if it wouldn’t have happened without Shastri. The Anil Kumble stint also brought in good success. The one success which surely stand out for me is introducing Kuldeep and Chahal in ODI after the last Champions trophy loss to Pak.

Cricket Team India genuinely needs the right kind of disciplined coach like @anilkumble1074 who is confident about his plan and action to achieve the goal. Likes/Dislikes of the captain should NOT be the selection criteria of the coach. @ShekharGupta

Anil kumble is being missed @BCCI !#ENDvIND

Sir a professional cricketer can read the pitch. . Prob is with our coach. He is pathetic . Kumble dravid combination would have been perfect. A. Dravid skill will improve a batting lot. B. Kumble understanding of game is better than test .
