"7 Bloody Calls": Ravi Shastri Narrates Story Behind Becoming India's Team Director In 2014

Before Ravi Shastri's tenure as the head coach of the Indian men's cricket team, which saw them register two Test series wins in Australia and take a 2-1 lead in England before the final match was postponed by a year, he was also the director of the team - first, for a brief stint in 2007 and then for two years starting in 2014. Speaking to The Guardian, he revealed how he was on commentary duty when the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) contacted him and asked him to take over as India's team director from the very next day in 2014.

Rob Key - Ravi Shastri - Anil Kumble - In India, jealous gang wanted me to fail so I developed thick skin: Ravi Shastri - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - Britain - India

In India, jealous gang wanted me to fail so I developed thick skin: Ravi Shastri

Robert Key will need to grow a "thick skin" akin to the Dukes ball just like I grew one to counter the "jealous people", former India head coach Ravi Shastri said on how the ex-England opener should go out about his job as ECB's 'Director of Cricket'. Shastri was at helm of India's coaching staff between 2014 to 2021, save one year in the middle when Anil Kumble was given the charge. In an interview to UK's 'The Guardian' newspaper, Shastri said that there was a "gang of people in India" who always wanted him to fail. Just like Shastri, Key has also been an acclaimed commentator for a long time and doesn't have a coaching degree as he tries to ease into a new and very different role. "I didn't have coaching badges [either]. Level one? Level two? **** that. And in a country like India, there is always jealousy or a gang of people willing you to fail. I had a thick skin, thicker than the leather of the Dukes ball you use. A real solid hide.

IPL 2022: There is a lot of competition for a Team India berth, you need to be very good in all three departments, says Punjab Kings' Rahul Chahar

Rahul Chahar was part of Mumbai Indians' two IPL title winning campaigns (2019 and 2020) and the 22-year-old leg-spinner, who is now part of Punjab Kings, is confident that the Mayank Agarwal-led side will finally be able to clinch that elusive maiden IPL title. Punjab Kings have never won the IPL. Their best performance in IPL history was in the 2014 season (under George Bailey's captaincy) when they entered the final, but lost the title clash by 3 wickets to the Gautam Gambhir-led Kolkata Knight Riders team. In a recent interview with TimesofIndia.com, Chahar talked about Punjab's chances of winning their maiden title this season and more. Chahar, who takes inspiration from the legendary Shane Warne, has claimed 7 wickets in the 4 matches he has played so far in this season. He is the highest wicket-taker for the Punjab outfit so far in the 15th edition. TimesofIndia.com caught up with Chahar for an exclusive interview and spoke about his IPL experience so far, playing under the tutelage of Anil Kumble at the Punjab Kings, his idol Shane Warne and much more. Do you think Punjab Kings can finally win the title this time? We have a 100 percent chance of winning our maiden title this time. Considering our team combination and the way our batsmen are performing, Punjab Kings can win the trophy this time.

"It Was A Different Feeling": Rahul Chahar On Dismissing India Legend

In the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, Rahul Chahar has put in spirited performances for his franchise Punjab Kings and he has taken the mantle of bowling the tough overs. He showed his resilience when he went on to score 24 runs with the bat against Gujarat Titans to help his side post more than 180 runs on the board. Punjab might have lost that game, but Rahul proved he is a born fighter. However, his biggest high possibly came in the match against Chennai Super Kings as he bowled a tight spell and he even dismissed MS Dhoni. Speaking to NDTV, Chahar opened up on bowling to MS Dhoni and what he really wants to learn from Anil Kumble, who is at the helm of Punjab Kings.
