Switchblade Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/is-coaching-an-ipl-team-more-lucrative-than-a-national-side/articleshow/64357593.cms NEW DELHI: Being a part of the support staff of an IPL team seems to be more lucrative than coaching the national team for established former Indian cricketers. A look at the salaries of the coaches of the IPL teams this year makes one wonder about it and raises the question.Almost two years ago, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had shelved its plans of hiring former pace spearhead Zaheer Khan as Team India's fast-bowling coach because his asking price for 100-day service in a year was Rs 4 crore. The Board had considered that to be too expensive. In contrast Zaheer's former teammate Ashish Nehra, who is the bowling coach of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, draws a similar amount from the IPL franchisee. Sources said that Nehra is not only the second most expensive coach with an annual package of Rs 4 crore in the IPL set-up, but he is also making more than the support staff of the Indian team. However, India's head coach Ravi Shastri remains the highest paid cricket coach in the world and is making over Rs 7 crore while his support staff make close to Rs 2 crore per annum. It is also revealed that New Zealand's former left-arm spinner and RCB's head coach Daniel Vettori is the highest paid coach in the 2018 IPL season while Delhi Dardevils' Ricky Ponting made around Rs 3.7 crore for this year's services. Surprisingly, former India coach Gary Kirsten, who was the batting consultant with the RCB this season, made only Rs 1.5 crore. A similar amount is paid to Mumbai Indians' Lasith Malinga, who was their bowling mentor. Sources said that the fourth highest paid coach in IPL is Chennai Super Kings' Stephen Fleming at Rs 3.2 crore and is followed by Kings XI Punjab's Virender Sehwag, whose salary is pegged around Rs 3 crore. Even Rajasthan Royals are shelling around Rs 2.7 for Shane Warne. The third best team in this year's IPL - the Kolkata Knight Riders - is paying Rs 2.5 crore to Jacques Kallis. Last year's champion team Mumbai Indians' coach Mahela Jayawardene is making around Rs 2.25 crore while the likes of Tom Moody and VVS Laxman are making around Rs 2 crore each.

I read somewhere none of the T20 teams he coaches across different tournaments have done well. He is pretty poor at the auctions and hardly innovative with playing XI or game strategies.

diga Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Winloss ratio for vettori - 45% over ten seasons with multiple teams... 17 hours ago, philcric said: Vettori is one of the shittiest T20 coaches around. I read somewhere none of the T20 teams he coaches across different tournaments have done well. He is pretty poor at the auctions and hardly innovative with playing XI or game strategies. Quote Consider, for instance, Daniel Vettori. Already with three of the best T20 coaching roles - as head coach of Brisbane Heat, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Middlesex - he recently acquired a fourth job, with Rajshahi Kings in the Bangladesh Premier League. With his studious air, youth, and excellent playing pedigree in the format, Vettori certainly fits the image of what a new-age T20 coach should look like. The results suggest otherwise. At each of Brisbane, Bangalore and Middlesex, Vettori has a win ratio of under 45%, according to Dan Weston of Sports Analytics Advantage - a strikingly poor performance considering the significant financial resources of all the teams, and since he has coached for a total of ten T20 seasons, one that can't easily be blamed on a small sample size.Weston had to work out Vettori's results manually: remarkably, in a game overflowing with statistics, there is no resource that collates s http://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/1144129/will-coaches-be-replaced-by-general-managers-soon Edited May 29, 2018 by diga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garuda Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 If people are millionaire after playing/coaching one IPL season, why wouldn't they stop doing it. It would take great motivation to play for the national side not just IPL. Atleast from an India point of view, it should ideally separate the wheat from the chaff.

nevada Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Dumb BCCI. Zaheer at 4 cr is a no brainer. Hiring bevda for even 4 lacs - now, that is expensive and an utter waste. Gollum, beetle and flamy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohlifan Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 ZK is miles ahead of BA (Bharat Arun) our current bowling coach. He was the only one bowler before shami who tries to setup a batsman. Rest are pure machines. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sensible-indian Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) The real question is how does Vettori keep getting coaching contracts in various leagues inspite of massively underperforming? He is the true legend. Edited May 31, 2018 by sensible-indian Turning_track, UrmiSinhaRay and beetle 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
