Team India New Batting Coach: After the defeat in back-to-back test series against New Zealand and Australia, the players of the Indian cricket team are being heavily criticized. In both these series, the performance of many batsmen including captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli has been very disappointing.

At the same time, after the defeat in both these series, a review meeting of BCCI was held on January 11. In which further strengthening of the coaching staff was considered.
