singhvivek141 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 My father used to say the same. He says that whenever Kapil and Ravi Shastri will be batting together, Kapil will always be furious on Shastri coz he will step down the ground only to defend the ball back to the bowler. Shastri was gritty and used to put prize on his wicket, but he literally has no range and very limited shots. Link to comment

He used both of them very extensively in 92 World Cup. Strange that he was coach for so long with Kohli as captain, but never taught Kohli the art of leaving the ball. Ultimate_Game 1 Link to comment
BacktoCricaddict Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Damning with praise. Really, nothing he said there is incorrect. But my contention is this - why are grit, mental toughness, , "khunnas" etc. - not considered talents? In my opinion, those are talents too. Shastri was talented in those aspects. Link to comment

Coaching is a 2-way street. If horse does not want to drink water, taking it to pond is useless. Link to comment
