Arun faced little competition for the post of bowling coach, a position which was filled by the national selectors led by chief selector MSK Prasad. In fact, Arun has been instrumental in improving the outings of Indian bowlers during his stint. Speaking to reporters ahead of the second Test, Arun described Bumrah's spell as one of the best in a long time. "Bumrah is a very thinking bowler, he is aware of situations and adjusts himself beautifully to them. The lengths he bowled in the first and second innings were very different, in the second innings he was pitching the ball a lot higher up, and was getting appreciable movement. It was the best spell of fast bowling I have seen from an Indian in a long, long time."
