CHENNAI: For Tamil Nadu, winning the Ranji Trophy has remained a distant dream for the last 34 years. Last season was especially disappointing with the team failing to go beyond the group stages and the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association have shown some intent by hiring an outstation coach even before the final was over.
Former Mumbai coach Sulakshan Kulkarni, who has been appointed as head coach, has his task cut out as he arrives in the city at the beginning of March. "I was supposed to start in June but didn't want to waste any time… I will come to Chennai in the first week of March and watch the TNCA first division league matches so that I can see the talents," Kulkarni told TOI on Wednesday.
