In relation to the same, AB de Villiers thought about how he would value particular components of the coaching role and how the lessons he has learned over his career could be vital for a developing player.
The coaching staff of the Indian squad will change following the conclusion of the forthcoming T20 World Cup in 2024. Following the conclusion of the ICC tournament in the United States and the Caribbean, Indian head coach Rahul Dravid is prepared to say goodbye to Rohit Sharma and company.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India, or BCCI, is looking for Rahul Dravid’s successor. Applications for the same have already been invited by the board.
Former cricket players such as Stephen Fleming, Ricky Ponting, and many more were reportedly contacted about the position; former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir was also said to be in the lead. Former South Africa cricket player AB de Villiers was asked if he would be interested in coaching the Indian side in the future, as the search is still ongoing.
“I have no idea at all. I am sure I will love being a coach. I believe there are some things I’ll have to learn that I won’t appreciate as much. Anything is possible with time, and I can adapt and learn as I go,” AB de Villiers told News18.
I believe I’ll really appreciate the following aspects of working as a coach: AB de Villiers
Under Rahul Dravid, the Indian squad advanced to the ODI World Cup 2023 final, however Australia outperformed them in the summit match. Additionally, the BCCI recently declared that they are searching for a long-term solution and a coach capable of leading the team in many formats.

However, there are aspects of coaching that I believe I’ll really enjoy. Looking back over my career, many of the lessons I’ve learned over the years and the maturity I now possess at the age of 40 become much more apparent. Thus, some younger players and even some experienced players may find value in those kinds of lessons, according to De Villiers.
