A mechanical engineer - Upendra Nath Bramhachari - has applied for the post of Indian cricket team’s head coach with an aim to “drag an arrogant Virat Kohli on right track”.
Former India spinner Erapalli Prasanna took a dig at Virat Kohli and said if the current skipper feels he is the “boss” of the Indian cricket team then the team can do without a coach.
Opening up for the first time, Virat Kohli on Thursday said that he will never reveal dressing-room details, in an apparent reference to the now retired coach Anil Kumble’s statement that their partnership had become “untenable”.
