'Dangerous for a coach' - Ryan ten Doeschate on how he planned Virat Kohli intervention
Follow
Former India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate discussed the complexities of advising elite cricketers, noting the difficulty of intervening with senior players due to fear of appearing intrusive or unnecessary. He explained that providing technical feedback during a presence of high-speed bowling can be counterproductive, as it might disrupt a player's mental focus.
During India's series in Australia, ten Doeschate utilized a rain delay during the fourth Test to approach Virat Kohli with guidance. He aimed to avoid direct criticism to maintain a positive relationship and ensure the advice was received constructively.
