Rating the Indian Coaches who donned the hats since 2000

Duncan Fletcher (2011-2015) – 7/10

Duncan Fletcher is known as a shrewd technically

Duncan Fletcher is the only Indian coach who witnessed two contradicting lines of success being built in synchronisation. He may not have been able to produce the kind of success that was seen during the reign of his predecessors, under his coaching, the team performed brilliantly in the limited overs format. However, it was the team's performance in the Tests which continuously raised questions upon the coach's efficiency.

The Indian team was defeated in the series by 0-4 back to back in England followed by Australia. The team also lost test match series against New Zeland and South Africa which built a large number of challenges for the team. MS Dhoni and Fletcher were being dragged into the common pit of blame despite no one's ability to recognise the actual reason behind the consistent failure of the Indian team in Tests.

What added to the difficulty was the sharp contradiction in the performance of the same team in the limited overs format. The Indian team was ruling the T20 and ODIs and registered back to back victories. They defeated West Indies and Sri Lanka in the tri-series and continued to dominate England in the 2014 ODI series. The Indian team also clinched the Champions Trophy-2013 and asserted their dominance in the limited over format.

However, the Indian team lost to Australia in the 2015 World Cup and that led to the end of Fletcher's tenure with the Indian Cricket team. Fletcher's reign boasted of team India's stellar performance in the limited over format but invited a lot of controversies due to their performance in the Tests.
