Sandeep Patil was one of the first names television channels put out as the one who could take over after Greg Chappell resigned as India's coach. However, his name has not been talked about among the candidates since. Clayton Murzello spoke to him in the Mid-Day.
Patil became India's coach in 1996. His term lasted six months. A few weeks ago, a board official said Patil was replaced by Madan Lal because of a player revolt. “I am in touch with many players in the Indian team," said Patil. "They call me and I call them. I don’t make calls to congratulate them on their centuries and five-wicket hauls. I call them when they are down.
