After Anil Kumble's exit, here are a few 'softies' Kohli & Co could consider for coach

Sunil Gavaskar rebuked Indian players for their attitude towards Anil Kumble. “So you want softies, you want somebody to just tell you, ‘Ok boys, don’t practice today because you guys are not feeling well, ok take a holiday, go shopping’,” Gavaskar told a news channel. Here are a few champion shoppers who Kohli and Co might be happy with.

Amitabh Bachchan
Sneakers or samosas, shopping is shopping. In Piku, Amitabh Bachchan finds closure roaming the streets of Kolkata, eating fried snacks without a care in the world. Who wants a lecture from Kumble when you can have kachoris? Shortlist please.



Karisma Kapoor
Don’t look beyond Karisma if you want a coach who will bring down our diva players a peg or two. We have evidence she could take them veggie shopping and get them to cook their own goose.



David Beckham
No better man to go shopping with than ‘Spend it Like Beckham’, even if it’s just breakfast.



Kanye West
The rapper once blew 27,000 pounds in a shopping binge on Sloane Street in London. He would be right at home in the Indian dressing room, especially when they are playing in England. And he would have made the Champions Trophy presentation interesting by grabbing the mike and insisting India deserved to win.



Priyanka Chopra
It would be chill to have Chopra as the Indian coach. The players, currently in the West Indies, can stopover in LA on the way back and shop till they flop on Rodeo Drive.



Cristiano Ronaldo
Metrosexual CR7 will be in sync with metrosexual Virat Kohli if he becomes the coach of the Indian team. All he needs to be careful about is GST. But the BCCI is good at taking care of such small inconveniences.



Justin Bieber
There’s no doubt about his lip syncing talent. But he’s also good at shopping. Bieber seems as thrilled at laying his hands on a toy robot as Sarfraz Ahmed on the Champions Trophy. Must be shortlisted for the job of Indian co.
