2 legendary players who could be recruited as India's spin bowling coach

Spin bowling has always been India's strength, be it in the red ball or limited overs format. India has produced a lot of spinners in the past while a good amount of them are currently doing their duties as well.

However, the misfiring of spinners at foreign wickets has been a concern for India for a long time. We witnessed the same in the recently concluded England series as well, especially in Tests.

India's red-ball specialist spinner, Ravi Ashwin had a good start to the Test series but later failed to settle things. While another prime spinner, Ravindra Jadeja appeared in only one match, so did chinaman Kuldeep Yadav.

Recently, a report released by Mumbai Mirror mentioned that India might appoint a spin bowling coach for the upcoming Australia tour. This has now opened the doors for some known names to get a chance or joining the Indian coaching staff.

When it comes it to spin bowling, a lot of names come to the mind, yet coaching a team like India is not an easy job. In this article, we tried to find who could be the former legend players to fit in this job:

#1 Muttiah Muralitharan

Muralitharan

There can't be a better option for India than hiring the Lankan legend, Muttiah Muralitharan, for this job.

Having taken 800 Test and 534 ODI wickets, Muralitharan is still being considered as the greatest ever bowler produced in world cricket. He has coached the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the past while presently doing the duty of a bowling coach for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL. It was under his reign when Hyderabad lifted the title in 2016.

In 2015, he was appointed as coaching consultant by Australia prior to Australia's tour of Sri Lanka. However, he hadn't a very good outing as Australia lost that Test series by 3-0.

Meanwhile, there is no denying in the fact that owing to his experience he can help Indian spinners in the upcoming mega Australia tour.

#2 Daniel Vettori

New Zealand's most capped Test player, Daniel Vettori, has been one of the known spin bowling names in the world. He captained New Zealand in all the three formats for about 4 years.

Vettori owns 362 Test and 305 Test scalps while has done well enough with the bat as well. He was the head coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL and is currently the coach of the Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League and Middlesex in the T20 Blast.

With the experience of playing in almost every part of the world, Vettori might be one of the top choices for India to rope in as spin bowling coach. He is known for his soft character and skilful coaching. He might turn the fortunes for Indian spinners after taking up the job.
