Sunil Gavaskar Demand for Indian Coaches and Captains in IPL
Sunil Gavaskar said: – “Language is a barrier for budding Indian player who comes from interiors”
On Sunday, May 21, the league stage of IPL 2023 came to an end, and the top four teams advanced to the next round. The playoffs will feature the defending champions, Gujarat Titans, along with Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants, and Mumbai Indians.
Both Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) finished at the bottom of the league stage, with DC at ninth and SRH at tenth position. Despite Australian batsman David Warner’s impressive performance with the bat in the absence of Rishabh Pant, he couldn’t lead the Capitals to the playoffs.
On the other hand, Aiden Markram couldn’t meet the expectations after his win with the Sunrisers Eastern Cape as the first SA20 winners.
As per Sunil Gavaskar Demand for Indian Coaches and Captains in IPL, The failure of foreign leadership, particularly head coaches Ricky Ponting and Brian Lara, to connect with Indian interior players was blamed by Sunil Gavaskar.
In his Sportstar column, Gavaskar wrote about how foreign captains and coaches from DC and SRH failed to connect with the exceptional Indian youngsters:
“These players have had such superior skills and a magnificent temperament that it’s not easy for them to think like those not as gifted as they were in both the technique and temperament departments.”
He further mentioned the language barriers, adding:
“Often, the language is a barrier for a young, budding Indian player who comes from the interiors and may not be conversant in English to understand. That probably explains why players like Yash Dhull, Priyam Garg, and Sarfaraz Khan, to name just three, have made little or no progress.”
Sunil Gavaskar on Nitish Rana’s captaincy – Sunil Gavaskar Demand for Indian Coaches in IPL
As per Sunil Gavaskar Demand for Indian Coaches and captain in IPL, Due to a back ailment, Shreyas Iyer of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) missed the entire season. In his absence, Nitish Rana took charge of the squad as the Indian middle-order batter.
The uncapped Indian youngster Rinku Singh, who has been playing for KKR since 2018, was the revelation of IPL 2023.
In the final over, Rinku smashed Yash Dayal for five consecutive sixes to complete a remarkable chase against Gujarat Titans. Since then, the southpaw has become the lynchpin of the KKR batting order, scoring 474 runs at an impressive strike rate of 149.53.
Following a poor season with the bat in IPL 2022 (182 runs in 12 innings), KKR floater Venkatesh Iyer showed significant improvement with 404 runs at a strike rate of 145.85.
With 20 wickets at an economy rate of 8.15, leg-spinner Varun Chakravarthy was the leading wicket-taker for the two-time IPL champions.
According to Sunil Gavaskar Demand for Indian Coaches and Captains in IPL, Sunil Gavaskar made a comment about the head coach Chandrakant Pandit, who is the first Indian coach for the franchise since the beginning of the league. The comment was regarding the performances of Indian KKR players in IPL 2023.
Gavaskar stated:
“Look at the progress made by Rinku Singh under Chandu Pandit, the terrific coming back to form of Venkatesh Iyer and Varun Chakravarthy, and Nitish Rana growing as a captain.”
In Sunil Gavaskar Demand for Indian Coaches and Captain in IPL, Sunil Gavaskar praised the players of LSG and Gujarat Titans for flourishing under Indian coaching. He went on to say:
“Under the guidance of Gautam Gambhir, see how Ravi Bishnoi, Ayush Badoni, and Naveen-ul-Haq (Afghanistan) are flowering, as also under Ashish Nehra and Hardik Pandya, who invariably find a new player of the match.”
