Former India seamer S Sreesanth has called for MS Dhoni to replace Gautam Gambhir as India's mentor.
Sreesanth believes a mentor is more suitable for the team than a coach, given India's recent struggles in Test cricket, including home series losses to New Zealand and South Africa.
What happened?
Sreesanth made his comments during an appearance on Lallantop, where he discussed India's struggles in Test cricket.
He highlighted Gambhir's coaching style as a major issue, stating that the current coach puts too much pressure on the players.
Why it matters for MS Dhoni
Sreesanth cited MS Dhoni as an example of a successful coach who doesn't apply pressure tactics, instead allowing players to perform freely.
He suggested that India should adopt Dhoni's mentality and move forward with him as a mentor.
What comes next?
The BCCI has yet to respond to Sreesanth's comments, but the debate over India's coaching staff is likely to continue.
Sreesanth also gave credit to captain Suryakumar Yadav and opener Sanju Samson for their roles in India's T20 World Cup win.
He rejected the claim that Gambhir was the sole reason for India's success, stating that the team's victory was a collective effort.
The Indian National Cricket Team will look to bounce back from their recent losses with a new approach, potentially with MS Dhoni at the helm.
Sreesanth's comments have sparked a debate over the future of India's coaching staff, with many calling for a change.
As the team prepares for their next series, all eyes will be on the BCCI to see if they will take Sreesanth's advice and appoint MS Dhoni as the new mentor.
