TALE OF TWO COACHES: TUCHEL & DRAVID

NEW DELHI

Fans termed the developments as cold-blooded murder of their dreams and confidence to remain at the top of the season. It occurred in his 100th with only defeat in 18 matches and winning four major trophies and cups. Incidentally, Tuchel was not alone in the melee, four other coaches across the world were laid off same week unceremoniously. The lost confidence of the newly formed US board on their 100th day of Chelsea ownership in the newly formed venture. The writing is clear on the wall. Give impactful results sooner or perish.

While Tuchels departure is closely magnified, another script is being written and the newly made Indian cricket head coach is under invisible lenses. This comes straight after India's loss at the Asia Cup where the men in blue were beaten by archrivals and got their VISA for the finals cancelled since India lost all their chances to make it to the finals.

After the usual rituals of playing the blame game, the focus is now fixed on Rahul Dravid. Conspiracy theories are being scripted. Purists will scratch and discover in the fast-paced sporting world tougher calls for coaches> replacement are a norm.
