Guess What Quickened Anil Kumble's Exit As Coach?

Scolding The Team After Losing Champions Trophy Final Vs Pakistan!

 

Many well-wishers of Indian cricket would have been tempted to give a piece of their mind to the team after its 180-run loss to arch-rival Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final.

Coach Anil Kumble did so, but in the process, his already-fractured relationship with the squad reached a point of no return.

The players, some of whom were already very distraught after the defeat, complained about Kumble's "overbearing attitude" all over again to captain Virat Kohli.

On Monday night, Kumble and Kohli met BCCI secretary Amitabh Chowdhury, CEO Rahul Johri and general manager (cricket operations) MV Sridhar, leading to Kumble not boarding the team bus to the airport along with the cricketers hours later.

 

On Tuesday, Indian cricket's long-drawn domestic squabble finally ended with Kumble quitting, hours after the team left for the West Indies. He later tweeted, "Though BCCI attempted to resolve misunderstandings between the captain and me, it was apparent that the parternship was untenable, and I therefore believe it is best for me to move on."

 

At mid-afternoon London time, the BCCI tweeted, posting a link to its website, "Mr Anil Kumble has withdrawn his services as post of the head coach. While the Cricket Advisory Committee had endorsed an extension to his tenure, Mr Kumble has decided not to continue as the coach."

Following India's 180-run defeat on Sunday, Kumble is understood to have had one-on-ones with some players regarding their performance in the game, leading to some frayed nerves in the dressing room. Kumble was upset by the team's poor bowling in that match and is said to have mentioned to the bowling lineup that they compared poorly with some past legends of Indian cricket.

Communication between Kumble and captain Kohli had already broken down weeks before, and the two maintained a discreet distance during their monthlong stay here in England for the Champions Trophy.

The cricket advisory committee (CAC) - consisting of three legends in Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman - which is tasked with choosing the next coach, will discuss the next course of action via a conference call (Laxman is back in India while Tendulkar and Ganguly are still in London).

The resignation means the efforts of the CAC to broker a truce between captain and coach failed completely. With Kohli unwilling to take a backward step and seemingly uninterested in any compromise solution, Kumble, it seems, was left with no choice but to put in his papers.

Late on Tuesday, a top Board official told TOI: "The differences between them are not resolvable. It's not about Kumble going to the West Indies. It's about the fact that in the long run it's not sustainable.Both have their views in terms of roles and responsibilities and they were not always on a common page. After recent interactions, Kumble has realised that this issue won't be sorted out. Obviously, we aren't going to get rid of the captain. So, it's he who has to step down. There's just no other option."

Kumble, it is learnt, was miffed that the board did not publicly announce that it was amenable to giving him an extension for the West Indies tour, and did not back him more after details of captain Kohli's reservations about his "intimidating" work style became public. The board advertised for the head coach's job instead of giving him an extension.

Kumble, whose one-year contract ended with the Champions Trophy, is also the chairman of the ICC cricket committee, which will meet in London on Thursday.

 

Kumble was extremely successful as coach and his resignation implies the balance of power in Indian cricket now shifts completely towards captain Kohli, which is making some administrators uncomfortable.

"We wish to place on record our sincere appreciation of the immense contribution by Anil Kumble to the team, which enabled India to attain the No. 1 Test position. Indian cricket needs his continued contribution in various capacities," BCCI's acting secretary Amitabh Chowdhary said in a statement.

Did the board try to tell both the parties to adjust and move on? "The CAC and the board have spoken to both the individuals multiple times during the Champions Trophy. It's a marriage which broke down completely," the official explained.

The tension between Kumble and Kohli kept simmering throughout India's Champions Trophy campaign in England. "If you notice, Kumble didn't address a single press conference during the tournament, and chose to keep a low profile. Virat, on the other hand, didn't take his name even once while talking to the media, even as he thanked Bangar and even throw-down specialist Raghavendra for his batting success," said a source.

This fiasco raises many questions. If there were issues between Virat and Anil, why weren't they sorted out just after the India-Australia Test series? Why did the manager for that series, Anil Patel, not report of a rift between the captain and the coach? And if he did make a report of the issue, why was it brought to the notice of the COA only on the eve of the Champions Trophy?

After Anil Kumble's Resignation, Abhinav Bindra's Message For Virat Kohli

 

The legendary leg-spinner also revealed that Kohli had reservations about his 'style' of functioning. Bindra, who won gold for India at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, offered a rather interesting take on the latest development in Indian cricket.

India's only individual Olympic gold medalist Abhinav Bindra on Tuesday tweeted a message for cricket captain Virat Kohli after Anil Kumble stepped down as the team's head coach. In his resignation letter, Kumble said his partnership with the captain was "untenable".

The legendary leg-spinner also revealed that Kohli had reservations about his 'style' of functioning. Bindra, who won gold for India at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, offered a rather interesting take on the latest development in Indian cricket. While Bindra didn't take names, there was little doubt as to what he meant and who his message was directed at. "My biggest teachers was coach Uwe.I hated him!But stuck with him for 20 years.He always told me things I did not want to hear.#justsaying," Bindra tweeted.

Badminton star Jwala Gutta too echoed Bindra's sentiments.

@Abhinav_Bindra Sometimes that's the important part of training  I remember my sir doing the same...he still does it!!!

 

Kumble's decision to quit came after a rift between him and Kohli, with the the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) advertising the coach's job before the Champions Trophy.

The BCCI had urged Kumble to carry on as coach until the end of a West Indies tour starting June 23, but the former India captain did not travel with the team that left from England on Tuesday.

"I was informed for the first time yesterday by the BCCI that the captain had reservations with my style and about my continuing as the head coach," Kumble wrote in the letter, which he tweeted.

"I was surprised since I had always respected the role boundaries between the captain and coach," he added.

The BCCI had denied any rift in the Indian camp, but Kumble's letter confirmed media reports that board officials had tried to resolve the spat.

"Though the BCCI attempted to resolve the misunderstandings between the captain and me, it was apparent that the partnership was untenable and therefore I believe it is best for me to move on," the former captain wrote.

Kumble's resignation came two days after India's 180-run loss to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final.

However, India board officials praised 46-year-old Kumble, who was put in charge of coaching last June, for his tenure.

"We wish to place on record our sincere appreciation for the immense contribution by Anil Kumble to the team which enabled India to attain the No.1 Test position," acting BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhary said.

"Indian cricket needs his continued contribution in various capacities and wishes him all the best in his future endeavour."

The BCCI has retained the rest of its coaching staff for the West Indies series, with MV Sridhar supervising the team's management.

India will play five one-day internationals in the Caribbean, with a Twenty20 international wrapping up the trip on July 9.

It was Virat Kohli’s ego that won the battle, says Madan Lal on Anil Kumble stepping down as India coach

After Anil Kumble stepped down as India coach on Tuesday, former India coach Madan Lal said that in India, if you have rubbed the captain the wrong way, you are as good as finished. He also said Kumble deserved better treatment.

 

Former India coach Madan Lal put forward his support for Anil Kumble after news broke out that the 46-year-old coach had quit. He said that it was Kohli’s ego that won the battle in the end.

In an interview to cricketnext, Lal said that this has always been the trend in the Indian cricket team and that the players are happy getting their ego boosted. He said, “These boys want ‘yes men’ around them. The likes of Bangar suit the bill for them as they are happy getting their egos boosted.”

“Anybody who stands in their way and shows them the mirror or questions them back must go. This has always been the trend and happened even when I was coach (1996-97). I had a 45 per cent win record, but even then, I had to leave. The reason was that I was passionate about just winning and wasn’t an expert when it came to man-management. Coaching the Indian team is as much about managing the egos as it is about getting results,” said Lal.

 

The former coach further said that the reason why foreign coaches succeed is because they stay in the background. He said, “The sole reason why the foreign coaches succeeded was because they were happy to stay in the background and not question the authority of the senior players. Be it John Wright, Gary Kirsten or Duncan Fletcher.”

“They were all successful and had long stints because they didn’t want to pose questions or challenge the big boys. The moment one of them did question, we saw what happened to him (hints at Greg Chappell). There is immense pressure when you are coaching such strong personalities and it is never easy,” he said.

When asked if the Kohli-Kumble fallout could have been avoided, Lal said, “But this is the trend in Indian cricket. The players are the bosses. It has happened over the years and continues to happen. The captain decides everything and it isn’t like Australian or English cricket wherein the players and coaches are on the same pedestal and there is no ‘superstar’ culture. In India, if you have rubbed the captain the wrong way, you are as good as finished. While it is still not clearly known why and how the Kohli-Kumble relation went downhill, Kumble deserved better treatment.”

 

He further expressed disappointment that Kumble has to go even though the Indian team achieved so much under him. “Difference in opinion is nothing new. But then, the team should be priority. Look at the results that the Indian team achieved under Kumble and even then if he has to go, that is shameful to say the least.

The BCCI did try its best and that was evident through the efforts of the Cricket Advisory Committee — comprising of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman — but in the end, it was Kohli’s ego that won the battle. But it will be interesting to see how Kohli gells with the next coach as there is no guarantee that he will toe Kohli’s line,” he signed off.

Virat Kohli's lack of respect for India's legends absolutely shocking

Virat Kohli the superstar has prevailed over some of Indian cricket's biggest stars.

Picture this: A year ago, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman appointed Anil Kumble to coach India. Virat Kohli was just cutting his teeth into captaincy. He had begun well and there was a long home season to look forward to. Four Tests in the West Indies, 13 at home - that would have given Kumble time to settle in and stamp his style on the team - a bunch of young but extremely talented individuals.

 

The results were instant. West Indies were not a great challenge. And India were always expected to win at home. But the way they dismantled New Zealand and England in particular, showed things were working well between Kumble and Virat Kohli, the new leader of new India.

Little did we know, things were quickly spiraling out of control.

The rift, the debacle in the Champions Trophy final and Kumble's subsequent resignation. Bad blood between the two most powerful men in Indian cricket had left a bad taste in the mouths of fans already.

 

Meanwhile, things took a turn for the worse after India's disgraceful defeat against Pakistan at The Oval. Kohli and his superstars could not digest a dressing down from Kumble after they returned to the change rooms.

The coach was furious with his players - Jasprit Bumrah in particular for that no-ball which gave Fakhar Zaman a new lease of life. The superstars did not expect to be yelled at for 30 minutes.

Kumble never gave an inch nor asked for any as a player. As a coach, he would have demanded the same of his players. And what was so wrong in shouting at the players for a listless performance that resulted in a humiliating defeat? Are they bigger than the game? Are they bigger than the country?

Kumble was well within his rights to scold his team but it is exactly this attitude that had alienated him from Kohli and his coterie. Despite the obvious rift, the advisory committee of Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman backed Kumble to stay on as coach. He had done nothing wrong as coach. Nothing.

 

The legends spoke to Kohli but he would not listen. He was determined to see Kumble go. The captain (and the rest of the team) wants Ravi Shastri back. There is little evidence of that happening but it was shocking to see how Kohli reacted to four legends.

If the captain does not listen to Ganguly, Tendulkar, Laxman and is opposed to Kumble as coach, what chance does anybody else have of reigning him in? Kohli has shown an utter lack of respect for his seniors, his country and the cricketing fraternity at large.

When Kohli was involved in those heated battles against the Australian team earlier this year, he got the firm backing of his people. Former cricketers, the media and fans rallied behind their captain. But his abysmal treatment of Kumble will alienate the skipper now.

The Indian cricket team is nobody's fiefdom. Kumble is now lost to the Indian team but it is high time Kohli is tamed down or things will keep getting worse.
