BCCI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was looking for a head coach for Team India for the last several weeks. However, this search was not coming to an end till now. After the end of the T20 World Cup and the tenure of Team India's head coach Rahul Dravid ended, the BCCI was not able to find a head coach for Team India.

In such a situation, the director of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and former Team India batsman VVS Laxman was given the role of head coach for Team India's Zimbabwe tour. However, now the BCCI has appointed KL Rahul's idol as the head coach of Team India.
