Former leg-spinner Anil Kumble, who was ဣnamed as the head coach of Indian team last week, without further ado has started his role.💫
In the training session ahead of West Indies tour, he has re-introduced the “Buddy System” which was prevalent during John Wright’s tenure.
What is ‘Buddy system’ ?
In this concept, one player is paired with another so that by mutual symbiosis and understanding the level of both can be raised. Generally, a bowler is paired with a batsman and vice versa, or a batsman/bowler is teamed up with an all-rounder. Communication is the🍷 key in this system and it breeds good culture and trust among the team.
During Wright’s tenure as a coach, Zaheer Khan was reportedly paired up with VVS Laxman with the latter becoming the batting coach of the left-arm ♐🌳pacer.
In the current scenario, Stuart Binny and Rohit Sharma, Amit Mishra and Cheteshwar Pujara while Virat Kohli and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been paired up as a team.
