MUMBAI: After Tilak Varma last year, Nihal Wadhera and Akash Madhwal have emerged as fine discoveries from the Mumbai Indians' stable this time. Clearly the talent scouts at MI seem to be doing something right, something that former New Zealand opener and ex-India coach John Wright, who's with the franchise, understands.
"It is great when you watch these young players from all over the country and identify them. When you happen to secure relatively young talent and they go on to perform, it is very rewarding for us. We have a great group of ex-players, some of whom I coached and some of whom I played against. Some of them were selectors when I was India coach. There is a lot of knowledge in that group," Wright told TOI in an exclusive chat on Friday.
