In his farewell message, T Dilip said the journey meant a lot to him and that he struggled to find words to capture his five-year contribution, while thanking the BCCI, former and current coaches, and captains.

Dilip publicly expressed gratitude to the BCCI, Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir, captains Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and all players and staff, noting memories and achievements will stay with him forever.

Doeschate stepped down to spend time with his young family, with potential for a return to cricket in a different capacity.

Ryan ten Doeschate, who joined the coaching staff in 2024, is likely to return to Kolkata Knight Riders, seeking roles with less travel due to family commitments in London, making a seamless IPL return probable.

An IPL return for Doeschate with Kolkata Knight Riders is possible, leveraging his past playing years and coaching role in KKR’s 2024 title campaign for a short-term commitment.

The BCCI has not issued an official statement yet regarding the exits of T Dilip and Ryan Ten Doeschate.

India appoints Subhadeep Ghosh as the fielding coach for the men’s team, replacing T Dilip ahead of a two-Test tour of Sri Lanka.

Ghosh’s wide-ranging background across age-group cricket, women’s cricket, and franchise cricket contributed to his selection as a key differentiator at the highest level.

Dilip reflected on his tenure in an Instagram post, emphasizing his daily effort and his contribution through fielding, and he highlighted introducing the popular Best Fielder medal tradition.

Dilip highlighted the fielding medal tradition and its impact on team morale, recalling its prominence since the 2023 World Cup in India.

During his tenure, India achieved major successes including back-to-back ICC T20 World Cups and other titles, with Dilip acknowledging these in a heartfelt note.

Ghosh has IPL experience with Kolkata Knight Riders during their 2014 title win and has served as fielding coach for Delhi Capitals.
