A few days ago, Anil Kumble had voluntarily stepped down as the Indian Coach after citing issues, Kumble under whom India had achieved many successes had decided to call it quits due to some players having reservations over his coaching methods.
Virat Kohli who was shown in bad light then, had said that on the issue of the appointment that he will only air his view if the BCCI asks for it.

During a recent press conference, Kohli said “From a personal point of view, I can’t pinpoint anything or give details.
We as a team, contrary to a lot of perceptions, only voice our opinions when asked by the BCCI for suggestions. So that is something we have always gone through as a process and that’s something we respect as a team”.
Soon , rumors surrounding former Indian Bowler Venkatesh Prasad’s application for the chief coach post surfaced, but were shot down by an unnamed source.
“Venkatesh Prasad’s CV is not there among those who have applied for the coach’s post. He is working as the chairman of selectors with the junior team. We don’t know who spread the news. Venky on his part never confirmed that he has applied for the job,” said the source.
