The Bengal Tiger is the most authoratative figure of the Indian setup in the last decade and implements his ideas at the immediate best. Possibly possessing all the brains required to pre-plan the match strategies assessing the opposition watchfully.

Might demand more powers than what the coaches enjoy with the Indian setup since the Greg Chappell days. Known to be a bit stubborn with his decision makings, he backs his teammates more than anyone else. Will be more vocal in his opinions and hence there will be a sense of urgency in his methods – an urgency much needed to turn the slide. Perhaps that is the most essential thing needed to Indian cricket in the present situation. 

Someone who strives to take the attack to the opposition blocking out all loopholes of the side. This very same strategy might come in handy for the team that is exhibiting problems like ever before. Might not have much patience that is essential for a coach, but, certainly the intent for success at all cost will keep him going.

A strong will power and a dominant hand might not be a bad thing to boost the side with. As he himself have openly stated his wish to coach India in the past, the ball is in BCCI’s court.
