Ajinkya Rahane, the Mumbai captain, has stressed on valuing local and low-profile coaches in domestic cricket while taking a dig at “flashy coaches”.
“It is really good to have a coach like Omkar (Salvi) with us. It shows that you don’t need high-profile or flashy coaches to be around the team. You can still be under the radar. You can still stay low-profile and get the best out of each and every player,” Rahane said here on Saturday, ahead of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy final against Vidarbha, starting on Sunday.
While Omkar Salvi – the former bowling coach of Mumbai and Kolkata Knight Riders – has excelled in keeping Mumbai’s mission to regain the Ranji Trophy, Vidarbha have also fared well with Usman Ghani, the former stalwart, in charge.
