It's important that credit should be given to the right individuals where 'coaching' is concerned. Let's not be blind to some leading contributions that have come from lesser-known names.
#TeamIndia #coaches

Blindly crediting a Rahul Dravid or a Ravi Shastri for years of hard work someone else has put in is not fair. Here's a list of individuals responsible for the success of Team India players...
#TeamIndia #coaches #AUSvsIND
Shubhman Gill -- his father Lakhwinder Singh.
Rohit Sharma -- his childhood coach and go-to man Dinesh Lad.
Cheteshwar Pujara -- his dad Arvind Pujara
Ajinkya Rahane -- Pravin Amre
Virat Kohli -- Rajkumar Sharma, Ravi Shastri
Rishabh Pant -- Tarak Sinha, Ricky Ponting
Mayank Agarwal -- RX Murali
Prithvi Shaw -- Santosh Pingutkar (childhood coach), Mak Waingankar (long-time mentor), Raju Pathak (Rizvi)
R Ashwin -- nobody in particular, grew in stature as he played more cricket
Jasprit Bumrah -- the Mumbai Indians set up, and Bharat Arun
Hardik Pandya -- Jitendra Singh in Baroda & Mumbai Indians set-up
Kuldeep Yadav -- Kapil Pandey
Mohammed Siraj -- Bharat Arun
Mohammed Shami -- Badruddin Siddiqui & Bharat Arun
T Natarajan -- Diwakar Vasu
Wriddhiman Saha -- Jayanta Bhowmick
Navdeep Saini -- Bharat Arun
Washington Sundar -- Hrishi Kanitkar, Bharat Arun
Shardul Thakur -- Mumbai cricket
Hanuma Vihari -- St John's Academy, John Manoj
Ravindra Jadeja -- Saurashtra cricket & MSD
Ishant Sharma -- Shravan Kumar
KL Rahul -- Samuel Jayaraj
Umesh Yadav -- Subroto Banerjee & Pritam Gandhe
These individuals need to be given credit. Coaches at the senior level are merely star polishers. Their job is to manage the players well. Coaching happens when a cricketer is just about beginning.

And due credit to former Mumbai captain Paras Mhambrey, former India batsman WV Raman, former India spinner Narendra Hirwani -- who've put their share of hard work at the India 'A', Under-19 levels and the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
Gautam Gambhir's name should be added next to Navdeep Saini. He was the first to see potential.

Happy to make additions if there are any.

Watching this play sent me down a memory hole that gave me goosebumps as well as a pang of guilt. Let me explain. A THREAD!


In 2011, I was hosting the ESPYs. Marshawn’s run was nominated for Best Play, an award that was voted on by fans online. It was considered a front runner if not a lock.

Two days before the show, we're all watching the US/Brazil game in the Women’s World Cup. In the 122 minute Abby Wambach scored a header from a brilliant cross via Megan Rapinoe. I asked ESPN’s estimable producer, the late, great Maura Mandt if we could add it to the nominees.

The best thing about the ESPYs is, unlike other award shows that take themselves too seriously, there is a “fuck it, why not” attitude so Maura just made it happen. Maura was great at making things happen. Want another example?

One of the highlights of the ESPYs is the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. When my son Ashe was born Maura gifted him this fake ESPY for BEST CHILD NAMED ASHE. I am confident this is the only ESPY anyone related to me will ever win.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
