Former Indian ace players like Saurav Ganguly, Tendulkar and VVS Laxman have been assigned for the hunt of a new coach for the Indian team.

Kumble’s stint as a coach was proved to be very beneficial to Indian Team in tests as India won 13 out of 17 tests during his tenure while losing just one match. Kumble’s reason for resigning could possibly be only due to bad repo with Indian skipper.
