Instead, ‘What’s going on? What’s the problem?’ Or owners come to one of the team management staff and question a particular player.
They should see the coaches and the captain running the team. So these owners better not contact the players or get mad at me.
They are all businessmen. They only understand profit and loss. But here, there is no loss, so what bothers them? There is You earn up to 400 crores. That is, you are making this business profit without doing anything. You have people to take care of it, and whatever happens, you make a profit.
So, your job should only be to motivate the players. What happens if the player thinks that there are other teams in IPL and if he leaves this team, one of them will pick him up. So, if you lose a player, your chances of winning are zero. When I left Punjab, they were at number 5. Till date they have not finished fifth in any other season,” he said.
