Why Rahane may be a better Test captain than Kohli January 28, 2021, 4:58 PM IST Anil Sanweria is a cricket coach. Just after the second Test of the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy, I happened to meet Ashis Nandy who is an Indian political psychologist, social theorist, and a critic who has also written a book on cricket, The Tao of Cricket. Over a hot cup of tea and some wonderful Christmas cake we discussed cricket. I asked him whether he was watching the series as I knew that no cricket lover can resist the temptation of watching cricket live from Australia. I was reassured when Ashis Da happily nodded. I next asked him what he thought of Ajinkya Rahane taking over as a captain in Kohli’s absence? There was a pause and he went into a different mode and the psychologist surfaced. He asked me can you recall Kohli’s reactions when something goes wrong on the field? He is highly animated, grimacing and displays excess of emotions. A behaviour that generates anxiety on the field which can lead to more mistakes. In contrast, Rahane in the second test match displayed a great deal of calm as a test captain.
These credentials are enough for any retired cricketer to score a plushy comfortable job. But the former Indian skipper chose the road less taken. He decided to coach the junior sides (India Under-19 and India A). Around the end of his international career, he was already in a captain-cum-coach role with Rajasthan Royals. Under his coaching, the U-19 team was runners-up at the 2016 World Cup and emerged victorious at the 2018 World Cup. However, it's not the record books that are the driving force for India's Mr. Dependable. The 2016 WC saw players like Pant emerge while the 2018 edition saw India's new heartthrob Shubman Gill rise in stature.
