Sandeep Patil (Photo Source: Getty Images) ‘Beyond Boundaries’, the autobiography of 1983 World Champion team member and former Indian selector Sandeep Patil, was released in Mumbai on November 6, 2024. In this book, Sandeep Patil shares his views about some of India’s coaches since John Wright. The former player believes that John Wright was successful as the Indian coach because he gave free rein to the players. But then Greg and Anil Kumble were unable to do so. John Wright was the ideal coach for India- Sandeep Patil Describing John Wright, Sandeep Patil wrote that, he was an ideal coach for India and after his tenure, India’s record abroad kept getting better. He also said that Wright kept his distance from the press and was not in the news much. Sandeep Patil wrote in his book, Since the year 2000, India has had many international coaches and support staff. This has been of great benefit, as India’s foreign record has continuously improved. It started with John Wright becoming India’s first foreign coach. I think John was the ideal coach for India. He was soft spoken, polite, always kept to himself and was happy living in the shadow of Sourav Ganguly. Apart from all this, he maintained distance from the press. He managed it so well that he was rarely in the news, unlike Greg Chappell’s tenure. Greg Chappell was in the news every day- Patil Patil believes that Greg Chappell did not try to understand the thought process of the BCCI board members, president and secretary. Chappell could not establish good relations with other members of the Indian team. Patil also told that Chappell was in the news every day. With Chappelle, he was in the news every day. It is very important for a coach to first understand the policy of that board, the thinking of the board members and the chairman. He should have a good rapport with the president and secretary, and of course with the captain and the team. John did this brilliantly. During John’s tenure, there was no senior and junior issue. It was a team. He believed that all the seniors were leaders in some way or the other, he respected them and gave them free rein, which I think Anil Kumble did not do and also Greg Chappell. Sandeep Patil also told in his book that, instead of learning about the system in India, Greg Chappell wanted to change things from the beginning. However, John Wright was the complete opposite, as he took time to understand Indian cricket. Let us tell you, John Wright coached India in 182 matches, out of which the team won 89 matches. Meanwhile, India won 40 out of 81 matches under Chappell’s leadership. Anil Kumble’s tenure was much shorter than the other two, during his tenure India won 22 out of 35 matches.

Because of WPL, I got to learn a lot from many experienced players: Shreyanka Patil
In the last edition of the Women’s Premier League, Shreyanka Patil was seen playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Shreyanka Patil (Image Credit- Twitter) Indian team’s young spinner Shreyanka Patil has recently given her stand regarding the upcoming edition of the Women’s Premier League. Let us tell you, in the last edition of the Women’s Premier League, Shreyanka Patil was seen playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. During his conversation with GeoCinema, he answered many great questions. Shreyanka Patil made her international debut against the England women’s team in December last year. What did Shreyanka Patil say about her debut series against England? Actually I did not get the call. Kanika Ahuja called me and congratulated me. I asked him why he was congratulating me. After that I opened my WhatsApp and saw that I had been added to the online group of the Indian team. After this I came to know that it is true and I am going to play for the Indian team. I have played for the Indian A team before and my next goal was to play for Team India. How did you feel making your debut at Wankhede Stadium? I thought my debut would be in Bangalore but it happened in Mumbai where many people’s dreams come true. My dream also came true in Mumbai. I felt very honored when all the fans were cheering for the national team. I was bowling and suddenly I felt very excited. I felt happy to see that my family members had also come here to watch the match. How did you feel playing under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur? It was the first time when I was playing under Harman Didi and he had given me free rein to bowl. He told me to bowl the way I want to bowl. They have seen me in the Women’s Premier League and I felt very good that the support staff and Amol sir also supported me a lot. Experience of playing in the previous edition of the Women’s Premier League I really enjoyed playing in the Women’s Premier League. Not only with batting and bowling, I also had a lot of fun with my teammates and made many friends. Because of this tournament, I got to learn a lot from Smriti Mandhana, Sophie Devine and Alyssa Perry. I am also eagerly waiting for the upcoming edition. Experience of meeting Virat Kohli This moment was the best for me. We were all sitting and thinking this was just another team meeting. After this I saw that someone was coming wearing a black shirt. When he came forward I said, hey this is Virat Kohli. We had played five matches till then and had lost all of them. Many people were telling me to ask questions but not a single word was coming out of my mouth. He encouraged us very well. How prepared is Shreyanka Patil for the second edition of WPL? I have got a taste of the first edition of the Women’s Premier League and now I feel…
