When Ponting and Langer refused, the England legend said- make me the coach of India

New Delhi. The decision on who will be the next head coach of the Indian cricket team will be taken in the next few days. The name of former England captain Michael Vaughan is also coming up for the head coach of Team India. Vaughan himself has expressed his desire to become the coach of the Indian team on social media. Earlier, the BCCI had contacted former Team India opener Gautam Gambhir and Australian legend Ricky Ponting, but Ponting has turned down the Indian board's offer. Gambhir is currently coaching the KKR team. In such a situation, it is expected that Gambhir can take a decision on this after the IPL final.

The website Cricbuzz uploaded a photo of coach Rahul Dravid, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Rohit Sharma on social media and wrote, 'Who do you want to see as India's next coach?' On this, Michael Vaughan retweeted this post and wrote with a laughing emoji, 'ME..means me.' After this, there was a flood of comments on social media.
