Ricky Ponting Indian Team Head Coach : Even before the T20 World Cup, the exercise for the new coach of Team India has started. Rahul Dravid's tenure is only till the T20 World Cup and that is why BCCI has invited applications for the new coach. Meanwhile, news is also coming that former Australian captain Ricky Ponting is on the radar for the next new head coach of Team India. Apart from this, BCCI is also keeping an eye on Stephen Fleming.

In fact, this time there is every possibility that a foreigner can become the next head coach of Team India. From India's side, VVS Laxman is also in the list of contenders, but according to many media reports, Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming and Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting are on the BCCI radar in the IPL. The record of both of them as coaches has been very good. Ricky Ponting had taken Delhi to the playoffs under his coaching and Stephen Fleming has made CSK champion many times. For this reason, BCCI wants to make one of these two the next coach. Last time also Ricky Ponting was on the radar of BCCI but then he had refused to become the coach citing family.

India lost in the World Cup final because of Ricky Ponting.

If we talk about Ricky Ponting, he has been one of the successful captains of Australia. It was under his captaincy that Australia defeated India in the 2003 World Cup final and broke Team India's dream of becoming world champion. However, if Ricky Ponting becomes the coach, then the responsibility will be on him to make India world champion.

The Indian team has not won a single ICC title since 2013. In every tournament, Team India reaches the semi-finals and finals but after that the team is not able to win that last match. India had also reached the finals in the 2023 World Cup but once again they had to face defeat by Australia in the finals. Now the last challenge before Rahul Dravid is the T29 World Cup and it will be interesting to see how the team's performance is here.
