BacktoCricaddict Posted April 10, 2023 Share 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 :-(? sscomp32, tweaker and Mariyam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chakdephatte Posted April 10, 2023 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. sscomp32 and BacktoCricaddict 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
