Did you know Sehwag sent a twoline resume for coach’s job?

In what may come as a surprise to many, former opener Virender Sehwag has sent a twoline resume to the BCCI for the post of head coach of India.

In his application, Sehwag just stated that he is the mentor of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kings XI Punjab and that he is quite familiar with the current crop of Indian players.

“Mentor and a coach of Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League and has played with all these (Indian) boys before,” his two-line application reads.

Sehwag’s application has stunned the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) and, therefore, immediately asked him to send an elaborate application with a full resume.

Apart from Sehwag, current head coach Anil Kumble, former Australian Test player Tom Moody , former Indian cricketers Lalchand Rajput and Dodda Ganesh and former Pakistan and Bangladesh coach Richard Pybus are the other candidates to have put their names forward for the role.

Kumble’s contract as head coach will end post-India’s campaign at the Champions Trophy and the BCCI has already invited applications for the position.

Kumble, who took over the post of head coach from former cricketer Ravi Shastri, has had a successful tenure as under him, team India claimed the ICC Test ranking top spot.
