With the Ranji Trophy final starting on Sunday, domestic giants Mumbai have a chance to get hands on their 42nd trophy, in the competition history. They will be up against the two-time champs Vidarbha, who looks equally strong, if not more. While both the teams have some big names in their line ups, no one really knows, who are their coaches.
Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane highlighted, that is perhaps the reason, why the respective teams have really fired in the Ranji Trophy. Mumbai, meanwhile is coached by little-known Omkar Salvi.
“It is really good to have a coach like Omkar (Salvi) with us. It shows that you don’t need high-profile or flashy coaches to be around the team. You can still be under the radar. You can still stay low-profile and get the best out of each and every player,” Rahane told Sportstar.
“Omkar was with Mumbai team before earlier, but in a different role. Now, as the head coach, the work he has done with every player, the amount of attention he has given to each and every player has been amazing,” Rahane said.
“Even the Vidarbha coach, he is also very low-profile, so it’s good to have low-profile coaches. They give importance to players. They give freedom to the players. It’s a good sign for Indian cricket coaches. Even low-profile coaches can do the job for their team.”
