Part of coaching staff, veteran keen on lifting young guns & seniors
IN the aftermath of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy defeat Down Under, one of the first changes made with regards to the Indian team is the addition of Sitanshu Kotak as batting coach for the ongoing series against England.
Kotak, a veteran coach from the National Cricket Academy, has worked with the A teams as well as the second string teams in the past, but this time, he is with the senior team, working alongside head coach Gautam Gambhir.
While he needs no introduction to the players—most of them have either been part of the A sides or visited the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru—Kotak is nicely settling into the role and is excited about this stint.
For him, it is all about identifying individual batters' plan and working according to that, especially with the fast-paced nature of the white-ball formats.
