Sitanshu Kotak Batting Coach: Who is Sitanshu Kotak who suddenly became the batting coach of Team India

Failed against New Zealand at home, and lost on Australian soil too. After the crushing defeat in two consecutive Test series, BCCI seems to have woken up. This is the reason why BCCI has announced the new batting coach of Team India. Sitashu Kotak has been appointed as the new batting coach of Team India. Sitashu Kotak has previously been the coach of India A. Sitashu has also coached Saurashtra. Sitashu has been appointed as the batting coach of Team India for the ODI and T20 series against England.

Sitashu Kotak has been one of the legendary batsmen of Saurashtra. This left-handed batsman played 130 first-class matches, in which he scored 8061 runs with the help of 15 centuries. Sitashu's batting average was more than 41. Not only this, Sitashu also scored 3083 runs in List A at an average of more than 42.

also has coaching experience

Sitashu Kotak also has a lot of experience in coaching. In the 2020 Ranji Trophy, Sitashu was the head coach of Saurashtra and his team also became the champion. Sitashu Kotak is the person who replaced Rahul Dravid in 2019. In 2019, when Rahul Dravid became the chief of the National Cricket Academy, the coaching of India A came under the responsibility of Sitashu Kotak. Now Sitashu Kotak has been associated with Team India.

Sitashu Kotak faces a big challenge

Sitashu Kotak's challenge is quite big. That is because the form of Indian batsmen is not going well before the series against England. Well, that was about the red ball but still it will not be easy for Sitashu to correct the mindset and technique of the batsmen. By the way, if Sitashu remains the batting coach of the team for the England tour, then the problems will increase for him even more. That is because the condition of Team India's batting unit is bad. Especially Virat Kohli, who got out on the same type of ball many times during the Australia tour. Rohit Sharma's condition became so bad that his footwork disappeared. KL Rahul, Shubman Gill were also seen struggling to score runs. In England, the conditions are even more difficult for the batsmen, so in such a situation, how Sitashu will bring the form of these legendary batsmen on track will be a big question.
