IPL 2019 | Ramiz Raja questions too much intervention by coaches during live matches
Ramiz Raja has stated that once a team enters the ground, the captain should be the main boss and there shouldn’t be any intervention from the coaching staff. Raja has added that the captain is the ultimate man in the ground, and coaches shouldn’t even talk in the pre-game team hurdle in the ground.
It is a very pertinent problem that has surfaced in the Indian Premier League in the last few years as various teams are resorting to being coach-led than captain-led.

Royal Challengers Bangalore’s case is no different either as Virat Kohli has often taken a backseat in the death-overs while the team has been fed up by Ashish Nehra regularly in the sideline.

The issue first came into effect in Delhi Capitals’ matches where Ponting came to the hurdle to give the final pep talk while Shreyas Iyer, the captain of the franchise, was silently listening to him.
#IPLT20 Pisses me off when I see coaches taking the lead role in talking to the players in the huddle in the ground when this game is built to be bossed, directed and lead by captain especially when he has entered the 75 meter ground.. that’s his domain.
