Former India cricket team Test skipper Rohit Sharma reporteldy played a crucial part in bringing back T Dilip to the support staff. On Tuesday, reports claimed that the former fielding coach is all set to be reinstated after facing the axe earlier this year. Dilip had joined Team India towards the end of 2021 when Rahul Dravid was the head coach.
Rohit convinces Gambhir, BCCI to bring Dilip back
As per Cricbuzz, Rohit personally convinced the BCCI and head coach Gautam Gambhir to bring back Dilip for the England series. The report states that despite announcing his retirement from Tests, the former captain ensured that Dilip would be retained.
“Sources say Rohit, despite announcing his retirement from Test cricket, personally requested Gambhir to retain Dilip,” the report states.
Earlier on Tuesday, reports had stated that the BCCI had decided to bring back Dilip as they hadn’t found a suitable candidate to fill in his shoes. Dilip, along with current KKR batting coach Abhishek Nayar, was relieved of his duties in April. Now, he has been given a one-year extension and will travel with the team to England for the five-match Test series.
“Dilip is a good coach, who served the team well for over three years (from 2021). He knows most of these cricketers very closely. So, to have him on board for a big series (vs England) will do the team only good. So, there is no point in bringing in a fresh name at this stage, and Dilip is very popular with players too,” a source close to the development told news agency PTI.
T Dilip has been credited for making the Indian team one of the best fielding units over the last few years.
Team India are expected to leave around June 6 with head coach Gautam Gambhir, batting coach Sitanshu Kotak, bowling coach Morne Morkel, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate and fielding coach T Dilip.
