The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently invited applications for the post of the new team head coach of the Indian team. This, in essence, meant that the tenure of the current Indian coach Anil Kumble would end with the Champions Trophy. The board, however, gave Kumble a direct entry in the applications for the new head coach.

Many pundits wondered why the board opted to invite applications for the new coach when the team India had been performing exceptionally well under the services of Anil Kumble. Kumble took over as the coach of the Indian team last year in June. Since then, team India played the grand home Test season in India and won every series under coach Kumble.

Some reports suggested that the board is unhappy with frequent demands of Kumble. Kumble had demanded a hike in the pay scale of the players and skipper Virat Kohli as well. However, now, as per some reports, the actual reason could be very different from these speculations. Reportedly, things are not on the good note between the Indian team players and Anil Kumble.

Overpowering attitude

The internal wars between the players and coach is something that is not going down well with the board. A report in India Today suggested that the players had even complained about the same to the board following which the decision was taken by the board to invite new applications. Some players claimed that Kumble, as a coach, failed to get the confidence of the players.

Also, the players rued the fact that they had no freedom in the dressing room which led to massive discontent among the players. Some sources revealed that the overpowering attitude of Anil Kumble has not been going down well with the Indian team players.
