The coach of an athlete is crucial to their success and goal-accomplishment. A strong coach will serve as the athlete's technical advisor, motivator, leader, psychologist, and—possibly most importantly—as a role model inside and outside of the competition environment. An outstanding coach is a man who consistently contributes to his team's success while remaining in the background.

There have been 10 different coaches for the Indian cricket team since they hired their first one in 1992. The Men in Blue have had their fair share of brilliant coaches throughout the years; here are the top 4:

Ajit Wadekar

Ajit Wadekar, a captain and coach, was naturally good at both. He was one of the select few cricketers who have served as captain, team manager, coach, and chairman of selectors for the Indian side. Ajit Wadekar led Team India to the top of international cricket when he was still a player, with stars like Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Vishwanath, and Farokh Engineer on his team.

He was appointed captain of the Indian team in 1971, and it was around this time that the team achieved its most amazing victory. Indian cricket achieved its apex under Ajit Wadekar's direction. 1971 was a year of dizzying heights for the squad since they won two important opponents at the time, England and the West Indies, in back-to-back away series. Wadekar, who was at the peak of his abilities, was forced to retire after the 1974 series against England since the final three games of the series were lost.

Gary Kirsten

Before Kirsten took over, Team India had just suffered a devastating World Cup loss and was having a rough time under Greg Chappell's direction. However, the former South African opener turned out to be a huge blessing for the Indian team, who were keen to get back to winning.

Dhoni and Gary seemed to get along well. The coach-skipper pairing did grow to become one of the most well-known in the sport. In 2009, it helped India rise to the top of the world rankings for Test teams. In addition to winning two Test Match series against the Australians in 2008 and 2010, our squad gained international success by defeating New Zealand in a Test Match series on their home turf and drawing a series in South Africa in 2010. During his tenure, Gary Kirsten served as the Indian Cricket Team's head coach. After a successful World Cup run in 2011, his contract was up.

John Wright

John Wright was selected to serve as India's first foreign coach in 2000. John coached Team India during some of their most memorable victories. The biggest of these was defeating Australia in Chennai and ending their 16-game winning streak that year. Other successes included Pakistan's defeat in both Test and limited overs games, as well as the Natwest Series victory in 2002. Pakistan lost a game on their own soil in 2004.

Of course Gary helped India win the World Cup, but Wright had assembled the team from the ground up. John barely beats Gary for the top spot and is the finest coach for the Indian national cricket team.

Duncan Fletcher

Former Zimbabwean cricketer Duncan Fletcher was picked to serve as the Indian team's captain on April 27, 2011. The team's biggest performances during his tenure include winning the Champions Trophy (2013), participating in the World Twenty20 final (2014), and making it to the World Cup semifinals (2015). The embarrassing 4-0 Test-Match series losses in 2011–12 and the games lost to Australia in 2014–15 are just a few of Team India's international misfortunes.

India's Fletcher team completely thrashed the Australian team at home in the 2013 Border-Gavaskar Cup, winning 4-0. His contract was not renewed despite taking the Indian team to the 2015 World Cup semifinals. For the Indian national cricket team, he is still regarded as one of the best cricket coaches.

The Indian national cricket team's coaches have performed significant tasks. Once a great group has been assembled, the coach's job is to see to it that the team is properly trained. The head coach is in charge of making sure the squad performs at a high level and has quick reactions.
