Narendra Modi, Sachin Tendulkar: Thousands of Fake Applications were Submitted for Head Coach Post

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has received around 3400 fake applications for the post of head coach including names of some prominent personalities such as Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Sachin Tendulkar, and Shah Rukh Khan.

May 27 was the last day to submit the applications for India’s senior men’s team head coach job and now the BCCI will have to evaluate them and select the ideal person.

In the scrutiny, BCCI released that they have received applications in the names of Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Virender Sehwag, Shah Rukh Khan, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and many more which BCCI identified as fake applications.

BCCI had opened an application for the head coach position for the men’s team for which the hunt is still on. Fake applications are not new to BCCI, they received a lot of fake applications even last time.

A BCCI source said the organisation might select a different method next time to reduce the hassle of going through fake applications.

“Since the application process is in the public domain fans and many people can easily access the form, which is available in the website on BCCI. We may think of reducing all these things going forward we may come up with some new processes of inviting applications which will rule out fake applications,” the source said.
