Pietersen Eyes India Batting Coach Role Amid Speculation

Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen has expressed interest in becoming the batting coach of the Indian national team. This comes amid rumors that the BCCI is considering hiring a specialist to strengthen the coaching staff after a disappointing performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Rahul Dravid's retirement has brought new changes and Gautam Gambhir's team may now be considering candidates to strengthen the coaching staff. Pietersen retired in 2018 but has built a reputation as an analyst and commentator.

The Indian team suffered defeats in several series, and the effectiveness of the coaching staff was under great question amid persistent problems with the batting line, which led to the proposal for a new specialist for the position.
