1,000 Times More Politics": KL Rahul's Honest Take to Justin Langer on India Coaching Role

Former Australian cricketer Justin Langer was among the top contenders for the position of India’s next head coach. With Rahul Dravid’s contract set to expire after the upcoming T20 World Cup, the BCCI was reportedly exploring multiple options for his replacement. However, Langer has decided to withdraw from consideration, citing the demanding nature of the role. During his tenure with Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024, Langer discussed the position with KL Rahul, who highlighted the immense ‘politics and pressure’ associated with being the head coach of the Indian cricket team, describing it as almost ‘a thousand times’ more intense than coaching an IPL team.

“I understand that it’s an all-encompassing role, and having experienced it for four years with the Australian team, it’s exhausting,” Langer shared on BBC Stumped.

“I spoke with KL Rahul, and he mentioned, ‘If you think there’s pressure and politics in an IPL team, multiply that by a thousand, and that’s what coaching India is like.’ That was valuable advice.”

Similarly, Langer’s former teammate Ricky Ponting also indicated his reluctance to pursue the position.

“I’ve seen numerous reports about it,” Ponting stated in an ICC Review interview. “Usually, these things surface on social media before you even hear about them. There were a few private conversations during the IPL to gauge my interest in the role.”

“I would love to be a senior coach of a national team, but considering my current commitments and desire for personal time, it’s not feasible. Everyone knows that if you take on the job with the Indian team, you cannot be involved with an IPL team, which would also eliminate that aspect,” he explained.

“Additionally, being a national head coach is a ten- or eleven-month-a-year job. Although I would like to do it, it doesn’t align with my current lifestyle and other pursuits,” Ponting concluded.

‘The Test’ season 2 review: Less drama, more goodwill and unprecedented access to the Australian cricket team

‘The Test’ season 2 review: Less drama, more goodwill and unprecedented access to the Australian cricket team

Australian cricket and transitions have normally made for attention-grabbing tales over the final 4 many years. The departure from the poisonous tradition following the Sandpapergate scandal in 2018 to one thing more humane and sensitized was the topic of season one of  The Test, that launched in 2020. Nearly three years on, the second season sees the males’s team undergo yet one more transition…

And so:

Justin Langer said "Coaching the Indian team would be an extraordinary role, from what I’ve seen with the amount of talent I’ve seen in this country, it would be fascinating but I have never thought about it, I understand the pressure of being an International coach". [TOI]

[ad_1] The Australian players during the first Test in Perth. Photo: Debasis Sen/RevSportz Alex Carey was the last  wicket to fall in the Perth Test as Australia crashed to an ignominious defeat in conditions that were set to suit them. On expected lines, there was jubilation in the Indian camp. It was a clinical and memorable performance from the visiting side. Meanwhile, there were some glum faces in the Australian set-up.  The embarrassing defeat just accentuated the question marks surrounding the aging Australian side, especially in the batting department. Just a glimpse at some of the averages of the current set of Australian batters tell a story. Since the start of 2023 Ashes, following are the averages of Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Travis Head and Alex Carey – 38.2, 32.82, 27.41, 30.45 and 28.23 respectively. This is what Ravi Shastri, the former India coach, had to say about Australia’s batting woes. “I am seriously worried about the depth in Australian cricket. There were times when players had to play years and years of cricket to make the cut. Mike Hussey, Matthew Hayden – years and years, and you look down the ranks there in Shield cricket and some of the youngsters coming through the ranks, there aren’t many there.  “When you look at the batting line up, a couple of guys in the evening of their career, on the other side of 30 – deep into the 30s, you want to have some depth,” he told Fox Cricket. To some extent, Shastri makes a valid point. Just take into consideration a couple of examples: Michael Hussey had to compile 10000 first-class runs before getting into the Test side, while Mark Waugh had notched up around 8000 runs by the time he earned his Baggy Green Cap.  That raises another question. What about the Sheffield Shield? Is Australia’s premier first-class competition not producing enough talented batters? The top three run-getters from last season’s Sheffield Shield – Beau Webster, Cameron Bancroft and Sam Whiteman – are all over 30 years of age. Nathan McSweeney, who slotted in at fourth in that list, replaced the retired David Warner for the first Test, with Smith moving back to No.4 in the batting order. On the other hand, Webster, the batting all-rounder, has been called up for the second Test in Adelaide, as a cover for the injured Mitchell Marsh. Unfortunately, McSweeney had a horror start to his Test career, getting out to Jasprit Bumrah twice for 10 and 0. There is no shame in being dismissed by a great bowler, but with McSweeney batting at the top of the order, Australia are left with three players whose first intent is to to defend. To make matters worse, one of those three batters – Labuschagne ��� is out of form.  The crux of the point is Australia generally have had at least one attacking batter in the top three – be it Michael Slater, Matthew Hayden, David Warner or Ricky Ponting. Justin Langer, during the second part of his career, also took more of an aggressive approach. Yes, Labuschagne might find his form in the next Test or McSweeney could go on to play an innings of substance, but opponents won’t fear Australia’s present top-order.  If we take a deep dive into Australia’s Sheffield Shield, there are a few promising batters plying their trade. Sam Konstas, the 19-year-old, who has already played for Australia A, has 383 runs at an average of over 50 this season. Cooper Connelly, the batting all-rounder, has played a couple of ODIs. Also watch out for Campbell Kellaway, Will Salzmann, Harry Dixon, who in turn idolises Warner, Oliver Peake and Ollie Davies. Of course, the injured all-rounder Cameron Green has already established himself in the Australian Test side.  There is also the curious case of Jake Fraser-McGurk. There is no doubt that the youngster has a generous portion of skills. Just that he plays in an era where T20 has taken prominence. And Fraser-McGurk’s game is suited to the shortest format.  Incidentally, there are a few lingering doubts about Australia’s bowling department as well.

Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc have been great servants of Australian cricket. But they are all now on the wrong side of 30. So much so that even the ‘Golden Boy’ of Australian cricket, Pat Cummins turned 31 this year. The Australian captain wasn’t anywhere near his best in Perth. Although one expects the pace-spearhead to bounce back at some point of time in the series.  Here too if we peel the outside coating, it is crystal clear that India have a great record against Starc, with the left-arm pacer averaging as high as 53.66 at home, while bowling to the Asian country’s batters. In that context, is Scott Boland an option? The same bowler who picked up crucial wickets versus India in the World Test Championship final last year. Michael Neser, the other alternative, is out with an injury.   Somewhere, the Australian pace bowlers seemed to also lack intent in the opening Test. Michael Clarke, the former Australian skipper, told the official broadcaster, “It was like we just expected to knock India over again for not many – there was no intent. They were right in our faces, but I didn’t see any of our bowlers give it to any (India) batsmen … it all looked a bit flat for the first Test of the summer.” It would be naive to rule out Australia from making a comeback in the ongoing Test series. But it increasingly feels like the selectors need to soon inject some fresh blood into the Test set-up.    The post What is ailing Australia’s Test side, and what could be the way forward? appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

This is the reason why Aussies started calling him "The King". This is the reason Nasser Hussain said "In a run chase, I'd bet my life on Virat Kohli" There are many self proclaimed Kings but when there's a pressure only the OG King will stand tall. Justin Langer "He is gonna do it, he is gonna do it again, We are gonna lose another one coz of Kohli" and the King did exactly what Langer said in 2019 ❤️🙌🏻
