Shastri, Arun, Sridhar and batting coach Vikram Rathour had been with the Indian men’s team since 2017.

Bharat Arun has been widely credited for the work he did especially with India’s fast bowling department, making them a powerhouse in Test cricket.

India’s pacers powered them to two series wins in Australia and some memorable matches in South Africa and England, apart from helping them continue their domination at home.

Responding to journalist K Shriniwas Rao’s Twitter thread on Bharat Arun and why the Indian cricket board must continue to use his knowledge and experience, R Sridhar wrote about his colleague:

India players all praise for Ravi Shastri, Bharat Arun, R Sridhar and Vikram Rathour

Players like Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah were all praise for Ravi Shastri and co. and thanked them for their guidance after their stint ended.

Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, one of the bowlers to shine the brightest during Bharat Arun’s time as bowling coach, tweeted:

Rahul Dravid has been appointed the next head coach of the Indian team, but the replacements for Bharat Arun, R Sridhar and Vikram Rathour have not yet been announced. Rathour has reapplied for the position of batting coach.
