However, Ashwin feels Nehra didn’t have any reason to leave Gujarat Titans at this stage. Nehra has built a successful team in Ahmedabad and has already guided Gujarat Titans to an IPL title in his first season. The team also reached multiple finals and playoffs under Nehra’s guidance.
Nehra is known for his hands-on and old-school coaching style that already made Gujarat Titans one of the successful teams in the IPL. Earlier, former India batter reveals major concern over Zaheer Khan’s CSK appointment.
2 more Indian legends were in the race
Ashwin also revealed that two other Indian cricket legends were considered for the CSK position apart from a very few overseas coaches, but length of the contract became the main issue.
In some cases, they were not ready to take a one-year contract. In fact, in one case I know well, the deal was almost done, but his thing was that he couldn’t work in international tournaments other than CSK, because of which he could suffer financially.”
Choice of Zaheer Khan is fabulous: Ashwin hails CSK's move
Ashwin has called CSK's decision to appoint Zaheer as the head coach a “fabulous” one, saying his former India teammate’s strong relationship with MS Dhoni is another important factor for CSK. The former Chennai all-rounder also noted that Zaheer is an Indian legend and players will get to work with him, and that is not an ordinary thing.
He signed off by saying, “I do not doubt it. He ticks all the boxes. Smart man, knows cricket, knows bowling tactics well, and will blend in nicely. His relationship with Dhoni is very good. This will be a new beginning for Zahir Khan as head coach. But it will be very similar. Dhoni and Zaheer Khan’s rapport is good. I think you can see the team going in one direction; there won’t be a need to pull here and there.”
