Former India batsman Vikram Rathour who was also a national selector a few years ago has been recommended by MSK Prasad and Co as India's batting coach. The Punjab player could replace Sanjay Bangar provided there is no conflict of interest.

B Arun as expected kept his job as bowling coach while Paras Mhambrey and Venkatesh Prasad came second and third respectively. R Sridhar continues to be fielding coach and was preferred over T Dileep and Abhay Sharma. South African great Jonty Rhodes didn't make it to the top three.
