Rating the Indian Coaches who donned the hats since 2000

Anil Kumble (2016-2017) – 8/10

Anil Kumble and Virat Kohli failed to see eye to eye on many matters as it turned out

Anil Kumble’s appointment as the head coach of the Indian cricket team was a sign of a new era for the team when he signed a one-year contract with the BCCI. However, the spinner's regime as the head coach of India had its own nasty turn towards the end.

Arguably the most successful coach of the Indian Cricket team, under him, India dominated every other country in the cricket world. And apart from a Test Series victory in West Indies, the Indian team continued to defeat countries like New Zeland, England, Bangladesh and Australia. Team India lost only one out of 13 Tests and displayed terrific form throughout the year.

However, before the commencement of the Champions Trophy 2017, news about the tussle between Kumble and the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli started doing rounds. Both of them consistently denied the existence of any such rift but it all came to an end with Kumble's refusal to extending his contract.

The difference in the approach of these two players often regarded as the cause of the conflict. It is justified for the contradicting opinions to exist when it comes to the coach and the captain. However, it would go beyond any possibility of dissolving came as the shocking factor.
