NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has found itself inundated with an overwhelming response, receiving over 3,000 applications for the coveted position of the Indian men’s cricket team head coach. The surge in applications followed the BCCI's decision to share a Google form on its website earlier this month, inviting interested candidates to apply for the top coaching role.
However, amidst the flood of applications, the BCCI now faces the daunting task of sifting through numerous fake applicants who have purportedly used famous names, including cricketing legends Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni, along with prominent political figures such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah.
