Ο Ryan Ten Douchate συζητά το περιστατικό Gautam Gambhir στο IPL, τονίζοντας τη σημασία του επαγγελματισμού και της αφοσίωσης στον προπονητικό του ρόλο για την ομάδα της Ινδίας.
The Indian team’s new assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate breaks silence on IPL incident with Gambhir. Ryan has recently taken the reins as the head coach of the Indian cricket team. Ryan and Gambhir share a long bond. Gambhir has worked with Nayar and Ten Doeschate in the Kolkata Knight Riders’ setup in the recently concluded Indian Premier League, which they won. Earlier, both were part of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, where Gambhir won the trophy twice as the team captain.
Recently, in an interview with the British radio channel TalkSport, Ten Doeschate broke his silence on the incident with Gautam Gambhir, where he was overlooked.
The incident between Gambhir and Doeschate
Gautam Gambhir has mentioned this story on several occasions about his time at KKR, the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, when Ryan was one of the overseas players. There was a rash of injuries, and only four overseas players were available for selection. It was a guaranteed spot for Ryan, but he was overlooked. Gambhir said that Ryan’s reaction to this was what made him, in his eyes, one of the most selfless cricketers he had ever met.
Ryan Ten Doeschate’s reaction
Ryan responded, “I didn’t see it as a big thing. I still don’t. Now, I would be gutted if anyone behaved any differently. It kind of reminds me of the Roy Keane quote, you know, when someone praises him for what Alex Ferguson said about him covering every blade of grass and fighting for every ball. He says, ‘Well, what else is there to do? What are you praising me for? This is what I do.’ And I know it’s to a far lesser degree, but I think it is important how you carry yourself around the group. Whether you’re disappointed, feel overlooked, or even cheated in a way for not playing, to do anything less than give your best is just not acceptable. And you know, I guess that’s the starting point for him [Gambhir] να μυήσω αυτή την ομάδα που ήταν οι Knight Riders στη δουλειά που έκανα. Αλλά φυσικά αυτό περιμένω και σκοπεύω να δώσω κάθε φορά που ασχολούμαι με την ομάδα».
Δύο βοηθοί προπονητές στην ομάδα της Ινδίας
Μαζί με τον Ryan Ten Doushate, ο Abhishek Nayar εντάχθηκε επίσης στην ομάδα της Ινδίας ως βοηθός προπονητή. Αυτή είναι η πρώτη φορά που η ινδική ομάδα κρίκετ θα έχει δύο βοηθούς προπονητές. Νωρίτερα, κατά τη διάρκεια της θητείας των Ravi Shastri και Rahul Dravid, δεν υπήρχαν θέσεις βοηθού προπονητή κατά τη θητεία των Anil Kumble, Ravi Shastri και Rahul Dravid.
