For Soham Desai, he was part of the Indian setup since the Ravi Shastri era, serving many coaching staff and playing an important role in the team’s fitness change. In a Hardik Instagram post, Desai expressed his journey as part of the Indian men’s cricket team, thanking former coach Ravi Shastri and captain Virat Kohli for quick support in his career. He also accepted the continuous trust shown by Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma.
Desai was expected to exit after the report came out last month that the BCCI did not decide to maintain several assistant staff members. It consisted of Assistant Coach Abhishek Nair, Fielding Coach T Dilip and an anonymous Melvation as part of a lean assistant staff strategy. Attractively, Dilip has been restored by BCCI, possibly due to Rohit Sharma’s influence. Although India won the 2025 Champions Trophy, the former team’s former test series in Australia allegedly started changing.
