TIL Desk Sports/ Talented Karnataka opener Lokesh Rahul is happy that new chief coach Anil Kumble has decided to empower the national team members so that they can take their own decisions. Rahul, who is a part of the Indian cricket team set to tour West Indies for a four-Test series, is currently attending the conditioning camp at the National Cricket Academy under the watchful eyes of Kumble.
“We had a few interactions with him (Kumble) and he has stressed on few things he has made it clear that he will let the boys take decision by themselves. When we have trouble or any queries and we need to ask, we can go up to him and it is wonderful set-up,” Rahul told. “It’s a great boost for young team like ours to have a legend like Anil Kumble in the team who will mentor and coach us. He is sharing with us the experiences that he has had in his cricketing career,” the 24 year-old said.
“He is somebody who has so much cricketing knowledge and has spent so much time in international cricket. He is an ideal guy for us to look up to. We are looking forward working with Anil Kumble and getting better personally and also as a team,” said Rahul, who has scored 256 runs in 5 Test matches including two centuries against Australia and Sri Lanka respectively. After a successful limited overs tour of Zimbabwe, Rahul got a week long break which he enjoyed relaxing at home.
