Today, we discuss about the coaches of IPL 2020 teams. Indian Premier League has not only been about charismatic marquee players representing their franchises and churning out one incredible performance after another. It has also been about having the most popular and famous names in the world of cricket which will not only add to the star value of the team but will also impact the overall performance level.
Thus every team has roped in some very high profile names as their coaching members to guide them and navigate them towards the top prize in franchise T20 cricket. The following are some of the biggest names that have been roped in by the respective franchises during the ongoing IPL 2020.
Brendon McCullum (Kolkata Knight Riders)
The maverick New Zealand captain began his career in KKR where his breathtaking innings in the debut match of the IPL is still considered to be the most defining moment in the history of the IPL. One of the finest attacking batsmen in the history of the modern game, McCullum evolved as a champion leader as well, instrumental behind New Zealand’s evolution into a fighting and competitive team.
He would be expected to instill the same amount of confidence in an outfit like KKR who has been exceptional at times, bagging two IPL titles but has lacked the required amount of consistency to become the best. Among the coaches of IPL 2020 teams.
Ricky Ponting (Delhi Capitals)
The legendary Australian Captain has been a part of the Delhi coaching staff since the last season and the change has been evident as Delhi has become a much more confident and superior outfit than their teams of the yesteryear.
The punter has instilled the self-belief and sheer aggression that not only made him one of the greatest living batsmen but also one of the finest leaders Australian cricket has ever produced. His arrogance and his desire to become the absolute best has rubbed off on this young team who are one of the favorites to lift the IPL trophy this time around. Among the coaches of IPL 2020 teams.
Anil Kumble (Kings XI Punjab)
Kings XI Punjab have never really played to the best of their potential and talent. However, roping in someone with as legendary and renowned a status as Anil Kumble will improve the team ethics and enable the team to close off matches with surgeon-like precision, much as the ace Indian spinner did during his prime.
Young spinners like Ravi Bishnoi and Murugan Ashwin, roped by the Kings franchise will be under the able guidance of India’s greatest spinner ever. Among the coaches of IPL 2020 teams.
Mahela Jayawardene (Mumbai Indians)
The most successful franchise in the history of IPL has roped in the legendary Mahela Jayawardene as their coach. Someone possessing the sheer knowledge about the game like Mahela would be crucial for the team as he would be the best man to go for advice during high-pressure big match situations.
Who can ever forget the hundred that Mahela scored against India in the final of the 2011 world cup in Mumbai, Wankhede Stadium? Still considered to be one of the greatest hundreds in the history of world cup cricket. An innings of sheer brilliance played by one of the most graceful players of his generation. Among the coaches of IPL 2020 teams.
Stephen Fleming (Chennai Super Kings)
The man who has been a loyal mentor of the franchise since the time of its inception, Stephen Fleming has been the longest-serving coach in the history of IPL.
This year as well, the astute former New Zealand captain considered to be one of the most articulate minds in the history of modern cricket would be guiding the team towards glory and a fourth IPL trophy, something that would make them the most successful team in IPL history along with their arch-rivals Mumbai Indians. Among the coaches of IPL 2020 teams.
Simon Katich (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
The RCB franchise has roped in one of the most thinking Australian cricketers in modern-day cricket, in the form of Simon Katich as their head coach.
Katich has not only been a specialist test batsman for Australia for the longest period, but he also has extensive knowledge of coaching in franchise cricket and has been one of the most successful coaches in Australian domestic cricket. Among the coaches of IPL 2020 teams.
Trevor Bayliss (Sunrisers Hyderabad)
The man behind KKR’s maiden triumph and Sunrisers winning campaign in 2016, Bayliss has undoubtedly held the moniker of being one of the most successful coaches in IPL history. His association with the Sunrisers franchise is in its fifth year and is expected to be a fruitful one as well. Among the coaches of IPL 2020 teams.
Andrew McDonald (Rajasthan Royals)
RR has roped in former Australian domestic cricket veteran Andrew McDonald who has played numerous T20 competitions and has a vast amount of experience of coaching in franchise cricket. Among the coaches of IPL 2020 teams.
