5 reasons why Virender Sehwag can be a great coach for India

#3 Unconventional factor

Sehwag was not one to take advice from anybody and he flourished doing things his way

Sehwag is not someone who sticks to the rule book – it was not the case with his batting and won’t be with his approach to coaching either. He has his own way of doing things and won’t change his style for anybody and this could be a good thing for the Men in Blue.

Two of India’s most successful coaches since the turn of the century – New Zealand’s John Wright and South Africa’s Gary Kirsten – were individuals who liked to remain in the background and let the players execute their ideas with freedom and things would be much the same, if not better, under Sehwag.

He will make the players feel comfortable around him with his jovial nature and will not let his ego come in between when he interacts with the players. One of the main reasons cited behind Indian players unhappiness with Kumble is that they are feeling stifled under the spin legend, but with Sehwag, one can expect a free work environment for the players.
