The Indian batting coach Vikram Rathour on Tuesday said that he has applied again for the role of India’s batting coach role. Rathour further added that if selected, he is looking forward to working hard with all the Indian players. He was earlier appointed as the replacement of Sanjay Bangar after the 2019 World Cup and he said that he has enjoyed his stint with the team so far.

In the virtual press conference ahead of the Afghanistan clash, Vikram Rathour said, “The experience has been great, it has been a great learning experience. It is great to work with a team of such highly skillful and motivated players. Going forward, I have already applied for the batting coach position and if I get it, there is going to be a lot of work to be done.”

He further added, “Strike rotation has been an issue in the middle over against New Zealand. On this surface, it is difficult to rotate the strike. I am not saying only we have struggled, every team batting first is struggling.”

The Indian team’s coaching group is set to undergo an overhaul after the conclusion of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 as BCCI invited applications for head coach, bowling coach, batting coach, and fielding coach of the senior men’s team earlier this month.

Notably, last month, Rahul Dravid applied for the role of India men’s cricket team head coach on the deadline day for submitting applications for the top job in Indian team management.
