Venkatesh Prasad
He was a mainstay in the Indian Team from 1996-2001, but never came into the limelight, quietly doing his job without seeking much attention. His India career was not the longest, but in a short span of time, he earned a name for himself as a match winner with the ball, making crucial breakthroughs with his not-so-threatening pace. His new-ball partnership with Javagal Srinath shaped India’s pace bowling in the 1990s.
After having retired from all forms in 2005, he was made coach of the U-19 side in 2006, coaching the likes of Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja during his tenure. From 2007-2009, he presided over the role of the India’s bowling coach. He is currently associated with the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
