#1 A smart strategist and keen follower of the game
More than his past success and his relationship with other cricketers, what makes Bangar stand out is the depth of his knowledge of the sport and his impeccable analysis.
In 2014, the former Indian all-rounder smartly worked on the strengths of Kings XI Punjab’s squad and asked their batsmen to go for the kill from the first ball. This strategy was risky but it worked well for the team because Bangar had planned every move meticulously.
When he was roped in by BCCI to coach the Indian batsmen in 2014, Bangar analysed the game of every player and prepared a specific plan for every Indian batsman. The results of his coaching methods are evident from the success Indian batsmen have had in the past two years.
The presence of a smart coach in the team has several benefits and for the current Indian team which comprises of mostly youngsters, someone of the stature of Bangar can make a huge difference.
