Bahutule also served for a short time as a bowling coach of the Indian National Cricket Team after the 2024 World Cup. This was because the appointment of the Morne Morkel was delayed for a bowling coach, and he fulfilled his role during the white ball of the series against the National Crown Sri Lanka.
