New chief selector Ajit Agarkar’s first India coach, Aunshuman Gaekwad has no doubt over the Mumbai man’s ability to do justice to his new appointment.
And there is more than one reason for that. Agarkar provided ample proof of his cricketing wisdom on the 1996-97 India U-19 tour of Sri Lanka, where Gaekwad was coach. He followed it up with some good performances when Gaekwad was promoted to guide the India senior team.
