We Might See Virender Sehwag As The Next Team India Coach As He Is Set To Apply For The Job
The BCCI is looking for a replacement after Kumble's contract expires.
Even as the BCCI look for a replacement once Anil Kumble's tenure as coach ends, Virender Sehwag looks in the running for the post.

According to a report in The Indian Express, Sehwag was contacted by one of the general managers of the BCCI on the sidelines of an IPL game and was asked to apply.
Kumble's contract ends after the Champions Trophy.

¡°We have contacted Sehwag during the IPL and asked him to consider applying for the job of India coach. But he won¡¯t be the only one applying because we expect other former players to also thrown their hats in the ring,¡± a top BCCI official was quoted as saying.
However, the former Indian opener has dismissed such rumours and said he has not been contacted.

Be as it may, it would be nice if the man does take over. From the way he batted, there is no doubt he will be one aggressive mentor for the team.
