MUMBAI: Former Indian cricketer and renowned leg-spinner Sairaj Bahutule has officially stepped down from his role as the bowling coach at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. His resignation, effective immediately, is attributed to personal reasons.

In a statement, Bahutule expressed his gratitude towards former BCCI secretary Jay Shah, Rahul Dravid, and VVS Laxman for the opportunity to work with India’s elite players. “I thoroughly enjoyed my three-year tenure at the NCA/COE, and my services as a bowling coach will forever be available for the BCCI,” he stated.
Bahutule played a pivotal role in several key international events, including the T20I series tour of South Africa and two Under-19 World Cups. His experience as a head coach for the India Emerging side in the Asia Emerging Cup and as a bowling consultant during the Border-Gavaskar series further showcases his commitment to developing young talent in Indian cricket.
