Kotak likely to join as India’s batting coach ahead of England series

The Indian team’s abysmal batting performances in the past few months that led to a historic 3-0 whitewash against New Zealand at home before surrendering the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade, with a 3-1 humiliation against Australia during the trip Down Under, has forced the BCCI to mull bolstering the Gautam Gambhir-led support staff by adding a specialised batting coach ahead of the white-ball series against England, starting January 22 in Kolkata.
