Vikram Rathour was recently appointed as the new batting coach of the team and he succeeded Sanjay Bangar in the role. The new coach said that the interaction with the team has been good, and he will adjust to working in the setup

A revered opening batsman in limited over cricket, Rohit Sharma was included in the 15-member squad for the three-Test series against South Africa at home beginning on October 2

Vikram Rathour's appointment was mired in controversies as he faced conflict of interest charges, which were later dropped. The former right-hander, who played six Tests and seven ODIs for India, said he has a good equation with all the players in the current team

Reports have emerged that Sanjay Bangar, who has now been replaced by Vikram Rathour, confronted the selector on the just-concluded West Indies tour, Gandhi, in his hotel room and exchange wasn't exactly friendly

The current support staff comprising incumbent head coach Ravi Shastri, bowling coach Bharat Arun, batting coach Sanjay Bangar and fielding coach R Sridhar were given a 45-day extension following the World Cup, covering the ongoing West Indies tour from August 3 to September 3

As per norms, while the new Cricket Advisory Committee — likely to be chaired by Kapil Dev — will decide on the head coach, the selectors have been tasked to conduct interviews for the rest of the support staff

'But he (Rohit Sharma) has come out in each and every innings and started in the same fashion.

In recent times, the 37-year-old Dhoni has been under scrutiny with his slow batting. He was criticised by former cricketers and fans. However, captain Virat Kohli threw his weight behind Dhoni. Also, India’s assistant coach Sanjay Bangar had supported him

Nottingham: India’s assistant coach Sanjay Bangar spoke to the media on the eve of the team’s ICC World Cup 2019 clash against New Zealand. With the ‘men in blue’ set to face the Kiwis on Thursday (June 13) at Trent Bridge, Bangar said a final call on the injured Shikhar Dhawan would be taken after 12 days. He said Rishabh Pant would be with the team as a standby player.

'As far as the batting order goes, yes, KL (Rahul) moves up at the top of the order, and there are various options the team management can utilize going into the next game. Obviously, Vijay Shankar is going to be an option, and there are a couple of others as well,' said Sanjay Bangar ahead of India's World Cup 2019 game against New Zealand

Sanjay Bangar said at around 10th or 12th day the team would be able to assess the injured Shikhar Dhawan. He added that they did not want to rule out a “precious” player like Shikhar at the ICC World Cup 2019
