Former India bowling coach Bharat Arun has been excellent at developing and nurturing young fast bowlers. He nurtured a young, raw talent, Mohammed Siraj, during his time with the India National Cricket Team. Arun was part of the coaching staff of India that won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in 2020-21.
Bharat Arun first identified the talent of Mohammed Siraj while he was bowling in a net session in Hyderabad in 2017. From there, he helped the speedster make his way into the India Test team in 2020. Now Arun is in search of making another Siraj.
While speaking with Indian Express, Bharat Arun praised Mohammed Siraj’s journey, and he also emphasised that the young bowlers could emulate him in their own way, and this could help Indian cricket. Arun runs a cricket academy named Coaching Beyond in Chennai and Hyderabad in association with former head coach Ravi Shastri and R Sridhar.
“Siraj is a wonderful story for other young upcoming fast bowlers to emulate. And in our own way, we want to do something from Coaching Beyond. It’s not only a challenge to us, but it’s also, I think, one way of doing something for Indian cricket.”
“And more than anything else, to pick a talented boy and to give him the right kind of inputs at the right time. Inputs, I mean not only technical inputs, it’s going to be tactical, it’s going to be physical, it’s also mental,” Arun told The Indian Express.

The former India bowling coach also stressed that India has a lot of talent and there are a lot of fast bowlers in the country, and they do not have the best of facilities in the country to be nurtured around, so they need proper attention and also good training as well.
“This country has a lot of fast bowlers around. And most of these fast bowlers around the country do not have the facilities”.
“Even though they may be exceptionally talented, the facilities are lacking for them. First is the affordability factor. Sometimes there are bowlers who come from different backgrounds, and they are not able to afford it. Or they do not have access to any good inputs to hone their skills.”

Arun also stated that over the recent years have produced some of the finest pace bowlers, and some talented bowlers are hiding around, and they will be challenging in the near future, while mentioning Auqib Nabi, who has been excellent for Jammu and Kashmir in recent times.
“So I think looking at the recent past in Indian cricket, I think there are exceptionally good bowlers hiding in different nooks and corners of our country. And I think it would be an interesting challenge to tap that potential,” he added
He concluded by saying that he enjoyed his time while being the coach of the Men in Blue side, “Continuing as a coach for India, yes, I’ve had my stint with the team. It was a very enjoyable stint. I think there is room to do a lot of work around all this to contribute more towards the development of cricket in the country.”
