The Story in Brief
The BCCI has thanked assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate and fielding coach T Dilip after their stints with the Indian team ended. The board posted on X that their dedication, professionalism and behind-the-scenes efforts played a big role in the team's journey and success. Dilip served as fielding coach from 2021, then returned for a one-year contract after the UK tour in 2025.
Ten Doeschate, who joined under head coach Gautam Gambhir, was part of the coaching group that won the 2025 Asia Cup and defended the 2026 T20 World Cup title. He has since joined Kolkata Knight Riders as Head of Cricket Strategy. Rediff.com reports India's Test side had a tough phase in the same period, losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia and suffering series whitewashes at home against New Zealand and South Africa.
The Indian Opinion
The BCCI's warm send-off masks a plain fact: while the white-ball team thrived, the Test side lost five home matches under this coaching staff. Fans rightly applaud Dilip for making fielding a spectacle and ten Doeschate for two titles. But praise for behind-the-scenes work should not blur the line between success and stagnation. Watch how the next coach fixes the red-ball slump, starting with the home series against the West Indies next month, before judging this era.
