00:00It's the Indian who should coach the Indian team there has to be emotions involved all these foreign coaches
00:05Which we end up giving a lot of importance to
00:08They only come here make money and they vanish. You ask Rahul Dravid
00:12Probably he'll be more passionate than all those other guys. IPL is the best thing that has happened to Indian cricket
00:17Every time Indian cricket does not do well the blame comes on to the IPL which is not true
00:30One really good thing that has happened in Indian cricket in last six or seven years and
00:54Which I hope can continue is that an Indian have started coaching
00:59The Indian cricket team since Anil Kumble. I'm a very very strong believer in this
01:04It's the Indian who should coach the Indian team
01:06There has to be emotions involved all these foreign coaches, which we end up giving a lot of importance to
01:12They only come here make money and they vanish
01:16Emotions are involved in sports and the only people who can be emotional about Indian cricket or Indian sports are people who've represented their country
01:24So whether it is now Rahul Dravid before him was Ravi Shastri and then before that was Anil Kumble
01:29I hope it continues and this trend continues because this is something you ask Rahul Dravid
01:33Probably he'll be more passionate than all those other guys
01:35I wish I had played under any one of these Indian coaches because I never had that
01:39Opportunity to play under any of the Indian coach when I made my debut
01:42It was John Wright after that Greg Chappell came then Gary Kerr for a very short brief period
01:49Rajput under whom we won
01:522007 World Cup no one remembers everyone remembers Gary Kirsten again
01:56Unfortunate because we don't value our Indian people, which we definitely should we won our first CB series in Australia
02:02That was under large and Rajput. No one remembers that everyone remembers 2011 Gary Kirsten after that Duncan Fletcher
02:08So the day we start valuing our own people, I think we'll be absolutely fine
02:12But what about having foreign coaches in the leagues?
02:15Is it okay to have foreign coaches in the leagues and not have them at in have them in for national teams?
02:22see, I'm a mentor of Lucknow Supergiants, but
02:26If one thing that needs to change if one thing I can't change
02:29it's probably have all the Indian coaches in IPL and the only reason is because
02:34No Indian coach ever gets an opportunity in Big Bash or any of the foreign leagues
02:39So imagine how unfortunate it is that India is the superpower
02:43India is probably the the strongest cricket team in the world and our coaches do not get any opportunity anywhere
02:49But you look at Australians, you look at New Zealanders, you look at South Africans all the other people come here
02:54They get those top jobs with so much of ease. IPL is the best thing that has happened to Indian cricket
03:00And I can say this with all my senses and everything because there has been a lot of backlash
03:08Regarding the IPL since the IPL had started. Every time Indian cricket does not do well the blame comes on to the IPL
03:13which is not true. IPL has given more to Indian cricket than any other thing and the reason is
03:19Today when a young boy goes on to represent the country
03:23He doesn't fear anyone
03:26probably
03:27What 10 or 12 years before when when there was no IPL the transition from first-class cricket to international cricket was a massive step
03:35But not anymore
03:37Look at the amount of
03:39Talent we've got. Look at people like Umraan Malik, people like Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja. I can name
03:45So many. There can be three Indian teams. Yeah, and the only reason is IPL and more importantly
03:50It's not only about having three Indian teams. It's about having that fearlessness and
03:55Probably not having that bigger gap as well that bridge and that IPL has done really well
04:00And I feel that the way IPL is going on the more stronger the IPL will be the more stronger Indian cricket will be
