Vikram Rathour To Clash with Praveen Amre for batting coach’s job

New Delhi: The battle for the post of India’s next batting coach is set to heat up with former national selector Vikram Rathour throwing his hat into the ring.

It was felt that former India batsman Praveen Amre was the most suited candidate for the job as he has been associated with Delhi Capitals as batting coach in the past and is also known as Ajinkya Rahane’s personal coach. But it will no longer be a walk in the park for Amre. Speaking to IANS, a senior BCCI functionary confirmed that Rathour has applied for the position. “Yes, he has thrown his hat into the ring and it definitely means that things will get interesting for the position of batting coach,” the functionary said. Current batting coach Sanjay Bangar is on a sticky wicket after having failed to provide the team with solutions in the middle-order in the past few seasons, and India’s exit in the semifinal of the World Cup has all but ended his tenure with the national team.
