Coach Lokendra Chahar said that better is expected from both. |
Answer- The first match was very important. Moeen Ali was also not in the team. Hope Chennai play the next match well. Deepak has started his practice in NCA. Hopefully he will join the team soon.
Question- There is a big setback for Chennai, Deepak is not in the team yet. Do you think that had Deepak been in the team, the outcome of the match would have been different?
Answer- Chennai scored 30 runs less in the score. Had Deepak been there and Pawar had taken two wickets in play, the result could have changed. Well, Chennai had a chance.
Question- There has been a lot of change in Deepak in the last four years. How much does it benefit the team?
Answer- When you start your career. At that time the player thinks that he gets a chance. Now Deepak is in India team and IPL for four years. In such a situation, Deepak's role is now to win the match. Be it playing for India or for Chennai. Deepak tries to make his team win as many matches as possible.
Question- Deepak is currently in NCA. What will be his strategy when he joins the team when he is fit?
Answer- Every day talks with Deepak. The first priority is to make him fit perfectly. One cannot play with half-baked fitness. When he becomes fit, he will try to make up for the loss that Chennai is facing now and win as many matches as possible for Chennai.
Question- Deepak was always close to Dhoni. Dhoni left the captaincy before the start of IPL. Will this have any effect on the lamp?
Answer- Every player has a role in the team. Jadeja has also been in the team of Chennai for a long time. In such a situation, he knows the role of Deepak. In such a situation, I do not think that there will be any effect on Deepak. Anyway, Dhoni is present in the team right now. Whatever help they used to get, they will continue to get it.
Question- What advice do you give to Deepak as a father and coach?
Answer- When there is talk before the match, I just say that there should be aggression. The rest of the things are told by the coach in the team meeting. I don't want to confuse them by talking about this.
Question- This time Rahul is playing with Punjab Kings, how do you see it?
Answer - Rahul was in Mumbai for four years. He was doing well too, so changing the team could be a setback for him. But, from another point of view, playing for Punjab is also beneficial. The coach of Punjab is legendary cricketer and leg spinner Anil Kumble. In such a situation, Rahul will get to learn a lot from him. Which will benefit him further.
Question- When Deepak and Rahul play against each other, what do they think as coach and father at that time. who won?
Answer - All the players who are playing in IPL, they are someone's son. But his father is not his coach. In such a situation, I consider myself to be the first coach. I want both to do well. I stay neutral on that day. Whoever wins or loses.
Question- What happens when you are with Rahul-Deepak?
Answer- Most of the time only cricket is talked about. How's the bowling going? What is the speed? How much is Accuracy? There is more talk about just all of these.
Question- When both are playing and you watch their match, do you notice their mistakes?
Answer- Do not talk much before the match. Yes, after the end of the match, there is talk about every ball. Was that ball right, was the situation right at that time, who bowled that kind of ball. Everything like this is a long talk.
Question- What is the expectation from both of them in IPL. Answer- Both are doing well for the last four years. Now both of them are senior players. Now expect him not to do well, but to win matches. If a player wins even three matches for his team, then that is your big contribution.
