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.
SA vs IND: These 3 players will get a chance to debut against South Africa, Anil Kumble enumerated their qualities
Yash Dayal has definitely made a strong comeback after Rinku Singh’s five sixes. This shows a lot about his character – Anil Kumble Yash Dayal, Ramandeep Singh & VijayKumar Vaishak (Photo Source: Team India has to play a four-match T20 series against South Africa from November 8. Many young players have got a chance in the Indian squad for this series, which includes Ramandeep Singh, Yash Dayal and Vijaykumar Vaishak. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Anil Kumble says that Yash Dayal, Vijaykumar Vaishak and Ramandeep Singh should get a chance to debut in the South Africa tour. Anil Kumble said this about Yash Dayal Anil Kumble praised Yash Dayal’s comeback after hitting 5 sixes against Rinku Singh. While talking on GeoCinema, Kumble said, Yash Dayal has definitely made a strong comeback after Rinku Singh’s five sixes. It speaks volumes about his character – what he can bring to the table. He is a brilliant left-arm fast bowler and swings the ball both ways. He has developed his game around bowling in the death overs. He performed really well for RCB last season. Vaishak has all the variations of bowling in death overs – Anil Kumble Veteran cricketer Vijaykumar is also impressed with Vaishak’s bowling and expressed surprise that Royal Challengers Bangalore did not retain him for the upcoming IPL season. Vijaykumar vaishak is really good. Again, a homegrown player who has done a great job for Karnataka. Unfortunately, he didn’t get many chances for RCB, and I’m a bit surprised that they didn’t retain him. But I hope he gets a chance in South Africa. Again, he has all the bowling variations in the death overs. Hopefully Ramandeep will get to do bowling work too – Kumble Anil Kubal also talked about all-rounder Ramandeep Singh, who is a hard-hitting and right-arm medium pacer. The former cricketer hopes that if Ramandeep Singh is included in the playing 11 against South Africa, he will also get a chance to bowl. Ramandeep has really done very well. I think he has really grown a lot, especially after moving to KKR. Batting in that middle period, where he has been a striker who can be a real destroyer even when he gets three or four balls. This is the best thing about Ramandeep. And he is an excellent fielder; We have seen in the Emerging Championship (ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024). He also does a little bowling. So, I hope he gets to do the bowling as well because people tend to ignore all-rounders, especially in the IPL with the impact player rule. I hope he gets to bowl a little because it is needed at the international level. Take a look at India’s squad for the T20 series against South Africa- Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Rinku Singh, Tilak Verma, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ramandeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vaishak, Avesh Khan. , Yash Dayal

This is the reason why he has got a place in the Indian Test team for the first time. Simon Doull also presented his side regarding Nitish Kumar Reddy Shardul Thakur also played an important role in Team India’s tour of Australia in 2020-21 by performing well. He scored a brilliant half-century in the first innings of the final Test played at Gabba and also took 7 wickets, due to which Team India won the series 2-1. According to former New Zealand player Simon Doull, Team India is looking at Nitish Kumar Reddy like Shardul Thakur. He said, ‘The team is looking at Nitish Kumar Reddy like Shardul Thakur. He wants the young players to perform similarly. When you go to Australia, you want a player who can bowl 10 to 15 overs in a day and bat at number 7 or 8. This will be a bonus for the team. I am very happy with the selection of the team.

Santner has taken 7 wickets. Anil Kumble and Mitchell Santner (Image Credit- Twitter IND vs NZ 2nd Test: The second match of the ongoing Test series between India and New Zealand is being played at the MCA Stadium in Pune. So the second day’s play ended today on 25th October. But in today’s game, Team India’s batting proved to be a major flop. In reply to New Zealand’s 259 runs, India could score only 156 runs in the first innings. So the credit for this poor performance of Team India completely goes to New Zealand’s experienced all-rounder Mitchell Santner. Santner dismissed 7 Indian players while conceding 53 runs in 19.3 overs in the match. This is Santner’s first fifty in Test cricket in India. Santner’s amazing performance is being praised everywhere. On the other hand, now former Indian player Anil Kumble has been seen praising Santner’s performance. Kumble gave a big statement regarding Mitchell Santner Let us tell you that after the end of the second day’s play in the second Test between India and New Zealand, Kumble, while discussing Santner’s performance with Sports 18, said – He bowls from an angle, and he also bowls from an angle in white ball cricket. Has the understanding of bowling. He bowls with control at one spot and keeps variations in his pace. He is not only turning the ball but also uses pace in bowling. This is something he is very good at. New Zealand took a lead of 301 runs over India On the other hand, if we talk about the ongoing second Test match in Pune, in response to New Zealand’s first innings score of 259 runs, India’s first innings was reduced to just 156 runs. So by the end of the second day’s play, New Zealand had scored 198 runs at the loss of 5 wickets in the second innings after 53 overs. New Zealand has a lead of 301 runs over the host team.
IND vs NZ: India missed batting like Cheteshwar Pujara against New Zealand: Anil Kumble
India’s first innings was reduced to only 46 runs in the Bengaluru test match. Anil Kumble and Cheteshwar Pujara (Image Credit- Twitter After the flop of India’s batting in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test match, former Indian spinner and veteran cricketer Anil Kumble has given a big statement. Kumble says that at this time India needs someone like Cheteshwar Pujara. It is noteworthy that currently the first match of the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand is being played at Chinnaswamy Stadium. So on the second day of the game, Team India, which won the toss and batted first, was reduced to just 46 runs. This is India’s lowest score in Test cricket in Asia, and third lowest overall. Anil Kumble gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the collapse of India’s first innings against New Zealand, while discussing on Geo Cinema, Anil Kumble said – Virat Kohli should have batted at number 4, he is your number 1 batsman at that position. For the number three spot, India needs someone like Cheteshwar Pujara, who has done so well playing there for so many years. He would have been there because he has played 100 Test matches. I think if he had been there, he wouldn’t have gotten to hit the ball. He would let the ball come in, in this situation you miss a player like that. India are definitely in a spot of bother in this match. Matt Henry completed test matches Let us tell you that in the match, Kiwi bowler Matt Henry bowled brilliantly and took five wickets for 15 runs in 13.2 overs. In the match, he took the wickets of Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav.

He has scored important runs while batting brilliantly for Team India in many matches. Now Shubman Gill can also be seen performing well in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. However, before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, former spinner Anil Kumble has presented his side regarding this brilliant player. According to Anil Kumble, Shubman Gill has a lot of experience of playing in Australia and he can be seen batting tremendously at number three. He has appealed to Team India that if Rohit Sharma is unavailable in the Test match, then Shubman Gill should not be made to open. Talking about Shubman Gill, he made his debut for Team India as an opener in Melbourne in 2020. He opened for Team India in 17 Tests, after which Gill started batting at number three from 2023 onwards. For quite some time now, reports have been coming out that Indian team captain Rohit Sharma may miss the first match of the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia. On the first day of the first Test between India and New Zealand, Anil Kumble told the broadcaster, ‘Shubman Gill is a talented player. He also has the ability. He has been to Australia before also. He scored a brilliant half-century in Brisbane and Shubman Gill knows the situation there very well. Gill can be seen playing an important role in Australia: Anil Kumble The former spinner further said, ‘I don’t want to let it change. If Rohit is unavailable in the first test then Shubman Gill can be sent to open. But there is also KL Rahul in the team who can be seen doing wicketkeeping along with opening. Rahul Dravid had done this earlier and now KL Rahul is also doing the same. Gill can be seen playing an important role in Australia. I only want him to be seen batting at number three. The best thing about Gill is that his performance against Australia has been excellent and he knows the conditions there very well.

So at this time two ideas are emerging regarding this. The first is of former Indian veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh. Bhajji says that due to the schedule of IPL 2024, Team India’s preparations for the T20 World Cup have been affected. If this tournament had not been so late, India would have got to play at least 4-5 practice matches, so that the Indian players could have adapted properly to the playing conditions of West Indies and USA. However, now former Indian player and coach of Team India Anil Kumble has kept this issue aside. Kumble, popularly known as Jumbo, has said that he has no problem with the IPL schedule and it will not affect Team India’s preparations.

They will leave immediately after the IPL. So, I don’t see any problem that this has affected the preparations of the Indian team. Kumble further said- You cannot get better preparation for the T20 World Cup than playing in the IPL. You play 14 or 16-17 quality matches in this tournament. Therefore, you cannot get better preparation than this tournament. You have played pressure-filled matches in this. By looking at the play of the players here, you will get an idea of where the World Cup is going.
