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] Sai Sudharsan (PC: X) It is said that even before Devdutt Padikkal was born, his parents had decided that their second child would become a cricketer. That wish came true. Padikkal went on to play for Karnataka and in the IPL, alongside collecting his Test cap in Dharamsala. So, what next? Can he represent India for a longer period of time? Going by how Padikkal played in the ongoing unofficial Test against Australia A in Mackay, the signs are good.  With India A precariously placed at 30 for 2 in the second dig, and still in arrears, he and Sai Sudharsan strung together an invaluable stand of 196 to bring their side right back into the game. Any hint of width while facing the pacemen, Padikkal brandished his cut strokes. He also took a toll on Todd Murphy, the mainstay of the opposition. When it felt as if Padikkal was about to edge one to the slip cordon, he brought his soft hands into play.  There was something else to observe – Padikkal seemed to have blended his elegant stroke-play with a small trigger. In the past, there has been enough criticism of how Padikkal has little or non-existent footwork. So much so that during one of LSG’s practice sessions, the head coach Justin Langer advised the young cricketer to get his head more into the ball.  There was one more issue that seemed to be bothering Padikkal in first-class cricket – his tendency to not convert fifties into hundreds. The 2023-24 first-class season, however, has turned out to be a watershed one in his career, as he cracked three tons for his state. He also notched up a hundred for India A in the unofficial Tests against England Lions. The selectors had certainly zoomed in on the young batter and he was soon wearing the white flannels against England.  Padikkal. PC – BCCI Unfortunately, Padikkal couldn’t add to his list of first-class hundreds in Mackay, but Sudharsan, his batting partner, crossed the three-figure-mark, ending up with 103. The hallmark of Sudharsan’s promising first-class career has been his temperament to bat for long periods. In an era where modern-day batters are ready to play a volley of shots, he is an anomaly. In the first-class arena, Sudharsan has already made a name for himself for scoring ‘tough’ runs.  We saw enough evidence of Sudharsan’s powers of concentration in the Duleep Trophy game between India A and India C. As India A’s bowlers looked to post a memorable victory, Sudharsan calmly went about his job of salvaging a draw and compiled a superlative century. Ultimately, it took a fine short ball from Prasidh Krishna to dislodge the left-hand batter. In that innings, there was only one other batter from India C who crossed the 20-run mark.  That is a brief look at the micro-level about the batting abilities of the two left-hand batters. But can the duo establish themselves in the Indian Test side? It is true that India are going through a transition phase. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, two of the stalwarts of Indian cricket, are at the back end of their impressive careers. In that backdrop, the selectors seem to have earmarked the left-hand duo from the two southern states of India as future Test batters.  Both have immense potential. Now, it is perhaps a case of when rather than if the pair would get a long run in the longest format of the game. If India’s tour of Australia doesn’t go according to plan, then that elevation could come sooner rather than later.   The post Devdutt Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan – India’s next-generation Test cricketers? appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

Will KL Rahul Be Released From LSG Ahead of IPL 2025? Here’s What the Franchise Plans

With IPL 2025 approaching, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are gearing up for a significant reshuffle, and all eyes are on KL Rahul’s future with the franchise. According to recent reports, the LSG management, led by mentor Zaheer Khan and coach Justin Langer, is considering releasing Rahul before the mega auction, a decision fueled by concerns over his strike rate and performance as captain over the…

Ooh I've seen a Glenchin reel too , a month or so back, I'll see if I can find it.. the song used for the reel is a popular Bollywood one called sunoji dulhan, and the premise is that there's a newlywed couple, and the groom's family are introducing themselves to the bride using cutesy songs, helping her feel welcome into the household. It's a template for Indian reels, that whenever celebrities have weddings, you'll see reels like these make an appearance 😂

So anyways, the reel in question had Sachin as the groom, and Glenn as the bride, and the Indian team were introducing themselves to Glenn! 😂😂😂

First up is our sasur ji, meaning father in law. this role was given to Rahul Dravid. In the song, the fil is introduced as a guy who built his fortune by himself, a self-made man who hasn't forgotten his roots. And yk, I can totally see Dravid fitting the roll!

Then comes our dear sasu maa, meaning the mother-in-law. that role was taken by Sourav Ganguly! 🤭😂 The mil is introduced as a woman who loves shopping and make-up and gossipping and stuff like that. 😅 I can see Sourav being a rich trophy wife anyday, also if Rahul is the fil then it makes sense for Sourav to be the mil, because Rahul/Sourav is canon atp 😌

Then they are introducing the nanad and nandoi. The groom's sister is called nanad and her husband is called nandoi. The nandoi is described as worshipping the ground his wife walks upon. The nanad and nandoi were Gambhir and Yuvraj respectively. 😅😅 You know, I can totally see this one too.

Then it's the turn of the chota devar, basically the younger brother of the groom. This guy is introduced as being very mischievous and chaotic. This role was given to Sehwag in the reel, which is perfect and fun!

Then it's the bade devar who is introduced, ie the older brother of the groom. This fellow is described as being quiet, sweet and shy. In the reel, he was played by VVS Laxman, which is so fitting 😂😂

Then finally, our bride aka Glenn is introduced to the groom aka Sachin! 😜 Sachin is ofc introduced as a guy who has no equal in the world and anyone will be lucky to marry him. 😅😂

This was honestly a very fun concept! If the reel was to be done with the Aussies introducing themselves to Sachin, who would play which roll acc to you? 😁

oh this is SUCH a fun concept!! for the aussies the father in law would have to be steve waugh, and i think the gossipy vain mother in law is definitely shane warne hahaha

the grooms sister and her husband... i can't quite decide between justin langer and matthew hayden, or brett lee and shane watson 🤔

the younger brother would be reknowned pest brad hogg and then the older brother would be jason gillespie!

Shah Rukh Khan Offered "Blank Cheque" To Gautam Gambhir, In BCCI's Radar, To Be At KKR For…

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), according to several reports, is interested in Gautam Gambhir taking over the role of Indian cricket team coach. Amid lack of alternatives, because of certain overseas coaches' withdrawal, the BCCI don't seem to have many top options when it comes to finding Rahul Dravid's successor as Team India's head coach. A report has now claimed that Gambhir, who is the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024 at present, was offered a 'blank cheque' by the franchise's co-owner Shah Rukh Khan to join the franchise for the next 10 years, when he was at Lucknow Super Giants.

A report in Dainik Jagran has suggested that Gambhir is also interested in the India head coach job. But, wants a guarantee over his 100% selection if he fills out the application for the role. If the BCCI is only looking at Gambhir as one of the 'candidates', he isn't going to apply.

As the BCCI looks to intensify its effort of giving a contract to Gambhir, the report revealed the KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan intent of keeping the former India opener at the franchise for a long time. The Bollywood actor is said to have made a 'blank cheque' offer to Gambhir to join the IPL franchise for the next 10 years.

The BCCI has already faced rejections by the likes of Ricky Ponting, Justin Langer and Stephen Fleming over potentially succeeding Rahul Dravid as India's head coach. BCCI secretary Jay Shah, however, denied making an offer to any former Australian cricketer.

In fact, Shah suggested that the board wants the sort of person at the helm who understands India's domestic cricket structure.

"Neither I nor the BCCI have approached any former Australian cricketer with a coaching offer," Shah said in a statement. "The reports circulating in certain media sections are completely incorrect."

"Finding the right coach for our national team is a meticulous and thorough process. We are focused on identifying individuals who possess a deep understanding of the Indian cricket structure and have risen through the ranks," Shah had said.

Gambhir might be interested in becoming India's next head coach but what conversation he has with SRK over leaving KKR might be a big deciding factor.
