5 times Anurag Thakur showed who's the boss

#5 Key decisions have paid off

Rahul Dravid has had immense success as coach of the U-19 and India A team

Anurag Thakur has a good rapport with most of the senior players in the Indian squad, former and current. Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman have heaped praise on Thakur as many of his key decisions have paid off.

The likes of Ashish Nehra, Harbhajan Singh, and Yuvraj Singh made a comeback to the national side after he had taken over as the secretary and became the convener of the senior selection committee. All 3 of them had performed well after returning to the squad. Ashish Nehra was one of the best bowlers for India in the recently concluded ICC World T20.

He was also responsible for appointing Rahul Dravid as the coach of the India A and India U-19 cricket teams, and we all have seen how well these 2 teams have done in the recent past. Apart from that, introducing the clause of BCCI officials signing the 'no conflict of interest' clause was also a step that was appreciated.
