BacktoCricaddict Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 Six Ranji championships with teams ranging from Mumbai to Vidarbha to Madhya Pradesh. This cannot be a fluke. Indian KKR batsmen are flourishing in the past 2 years. Players seem to really like the guy. But is he too much of a task-master that bloated egos cannot handle :-(? Mariyam, sscomp32 and tweaker 3
Chakdephatte Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 It will be great if he can fix this broken unit in his first year. Their last season was pretty bad.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 He bought Shardul Thakur for 10cr. Thanks but no thanks. MK55 1

Vidarbha and MP are low profile sides. Coaching them to a Ranji win means making (relatively) lesser known players work as a team, coach them and motivate them. How does he fare handling big name players? That stands to be seen. BacktoCricaddict and sscomp32 2

Good point. He won't get "yes sir no sir" on the Indian team. If anything, his "aukaat" will be questioned because of his brief international career. The idea that only highly successful international cricketers from India can become good coaches is laughable, but prevalent. Mariyam 1
Need4Speed Posted April 11, 2023 Posted April 11, 2023 those highly successful intnl careers haventwon icc trophies themselves so whats the use.. along with CKP we need new bowlin+batting+fielding coaches too

RD was touted to be the next best thing, but has sucked so far. Pravin Amre, CKP and some other lesser-known players have proved to be worthy coaches are different levels nevada 1

Accomplishments as a player shouldn't count unless they are followed by a successful coaching track record.
Vijy Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 CKP is too much of a taskmaster for the entitled divas; he will be ousted soon even if selected
diga Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 BCCIs current rule of coach to be under 60 will rule him out nevada and Vijy 2
