Which Australian cricketer is currently the coach of the Indian Cricket Team?


Which Australian cricketer is currently the coach of the Indian Cricket Team?

Greg Chappel is currently the coach of Indian cricket team. He was an outstanding Australian batsman of his generation. He made a century in his first and final Tests. He scored 7110 runs and 24 centuries in 87 tests. 247 is his highest test score. Perhaps the most outstanding batting of his career left no trace on the record-books-his 621 runs at 69 five unauthorized World Series Cricket ‘Super Tests’ in the Caribbean in 1979, off a West Indian attack of unprecedented hostility. He was probably not such an effective captain as his elder brother Ian, but he nonetheless won 21 of his 48 Tests, and lost only 13. He lost the Ashe in 1977 but reclaimed them in 1982-83. His feat of scoring centuries in each innings of his captaincy debut is unequalled. After retiring Greg Chappel went into coaching, spending some time with South Australia and working as a consultant at Pakistan’s National Cricket Academy. He also worked as a commentator for ABC Radio. In May 2005, he was appointed coach of the Indian national cricket team on a two-year term.
