(Disclaimer: Sachin Tendulkar would like to be seen by the Indian fans as the coach, but the news is false. You should really have taken into account the date at which this news is published. Happy April Fool’s Day everyone.)
Sachin Tendulkar as India’s coach is without a doubt the best piece of news we have heard post the Indian team’s defeat in the World Cup semis. Sachin Tendulkar is an all encompassing being who uplifts the atmosphere in any situation for an Indian cricket fan. Sachin’s aura is such that any cricket fan, irrespective of their age group or nationality has to acknowledge the Little Master’s accomplishments and bow down with respect.
The defeat of the Indian cricket team in the semi-finals to Australia after an undefeated World Cup streak came as a shock to over a billion fans all over the globe. India was on an unbelievable wave of confidence, winning seven games on the bounce. [Read: ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: Sachin Tendulkar presents awards at Final in front of record attendance at MCG]
It seems like the time is perfect for Tendulkar to steps up and guide the team to nourish the young talent in the team through his fountain of experience. As you might have probably seen during the post-ICC Cricket World Cup Final presentation ceremony, the mere presence of Sachin Tendulkar to give an award was applauded and cheered by the fans. Here are five reasons why we think Sachin Tendulkar as the coach of India is probably the best thing to happen to Indian cricket. [Watch: When God never fails to answer his biggest fan’s call!]
1. Expertise
Sachin Tendulkar is known as the God of Cricket for a reason, he simply sees things that others cannot. His choice of strokes, his stance when he plays a stroke and the seemingly effortlessly that he executes shots is beyond imagination. It could be Shoaib Akhtar or Glenn McGrath, Alan Donald or Wasim Akram, Mitchell Johnson or Dale Steyn, Shane Warne or Daniel Vettori. Be it any bowler, from any era of cricket and on any pitch, the Master Blaster, as the name suggests can thrash the ego of any bowler.

2. Distance from controversies
Sachin Tendulkar has managed to reach the top of cricketing accomplishments due to his talent, but that could not have been possible without media management. One wrong statement can kill the public image of a person irrespective of talent and skill. Sachin Tendulkar is a great asset for India for his squeaky clean image, that he maintained through his career and a global ambassador of what an individual can do if you pay attention to the things that matter.

3. Sachin can take risks no other person can take
Tendulkar has such a great fan following even though he has retired from playing professional cricket that, no matter what he does, he will be forgiven by the people. That can be misused, but we trust Sachin that we will do everything in his power to bring a positive stride to the Indian cricket team and set us on a winning path again.

When you have faith in someone as great as Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, you are in for no surprise that he will obviously bring all his experience and knowledge of the game on and off the pitch to the players. We believe in Sachin and hope that the team he coaches can rise up to be the best Indian team that the world has seen.
4. Consistency
The lack of form has marred even the greats like Sachin Tendulkar, but his return to consistent form (From 2008-2011) is a testimony of his passion and relentless love for the game. Sachin Tendulkar’s performance cannot be questioned by anyone, but it did not come with sudden freak performances. He sustained his form despite obstacles ranging from injuries and hostile conditions. If he can bring that sense of consistency into the Indian cricket team, then we truly can be an all-conquering great, just like Sachin himself.

5. Sachin can predict the future
Sachin’s supernatural power has been acknowledged by many fellow cricketers that the things he says in the dressing room tend to happen on the field. Now, that is an amazing ability to have in a game. Just imagine having the power to know where the ball will swing and let your batsmen know so that they can be prepared to smack the ball out of the park or let your bowlers know how to topple the wickets. Sachin apparently can do such things and this will certainly be a great asset to the team if his predictions come true and they are used by the players on the field.
