New Delhi, November 8: It may just that we will see Ravi Shastri in coach’s avatar even after his India stint ends after the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.
The newly inducted IPL franchise Ahmedabad is in talks with outgoing India team coaches Ravi Shastri, Bharat Arun (bowling), and R Sridhar (fielding) for the coaching roles in the IPL 2022 edition of the lucrative tournament.
All three -- Shastri, Arun, and Sridhar will finish their tenure as coaches of the Indian cricket team after the conclusion of the ongoing T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
And, BCCI has already announced Rahul Dravid as Shastri's successor and none of the trio has sought an extension. However, batting coach Vikram Rathour has confirmed that he has applied for the role for a second term.
According to a report in Cricbuzz, Shastri has been offered the head coach's role by the Ahmedabad franchise and he is also keen to have a coaching stint with an IPL team. Till now, Shastri has not been involved with an IPL team in any capacity.
However, the Indian coach will only decide the end of the T20 World Cup and does not want any distractions during the tournament.
If the former Indian cricketer accepts the offers, Bharat Arun and R Sridhar will be part of his staff as they had worked together with Team India.
It has also been mentioned that CVC Capitals, the promoters of the Ahmedabad-based franchise, are understood to be eager to finish the deal early as they want to build a team culture from the very beginning and a team model ahead of the IPL mega auction to be held either in December or January, 2022.
With the addition of two new teams -- Ahmedabad and Lucknow, the IPL will be a 10-team affair from the 2022 season.
The RPSG group of Sanjiv Goenka bought the Lucknow franchise for a whooping Rs 7090 crore while CVC Capitals were awarded the Ahmedabad team for an amount of Rs 5625 crore.
The cash-rich league will have a mega-auction ahead of the new season. The existing franchises have been allowed to retain a maximum of four players while the new teams will have an option of picking three players from outside the auction pool.
