4 best choices for the position of Team India's Head Coach

#3 Lalchand Rajput

Lalchand was part of India's white-ball transition in 2007-08

Lalchand Rajput was one of the few Indian coaches who tasted success with the Indian team. When India won the inaugural World T20 in 2007, Rajput was in charge of the team as the team manager. He was also at the helm of affairs when India won the CB series in Australia in 2008.

He was the assistant coach for India during the initial days of Gary Kirsten's appointment. He has been a successful coach for teams like Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. Under his tenure, Afghanistan challenged many top teams and went on to beat the likes of West Indies and Bangladesh.

In May 2018, he was appointed as a head coach of Zimbabwe on an interim basis and in August he was appointed as the full-time coach. Zimbabwe won their first away test in 17 years when they beat Bangladesh in 2018. Rajput is one who understands Indian cricket better than most of the coaches who have applied and could be a good choice to take over.
