There have been plenty of factors at play in India's rise to the No.1 ranking in Tests, including MS Dhoni's captaincy, but foremost among them is their adherence to the "process" put in place by coach Gary Kirsten, writes Lokendra Pratap Sahi in the Telegraph.
When Chappell talked of “process,” it would be seen as a means of keeping Sourav Ganguly out of the dressing room and getting Sachin to bat down the order in ODIs, instead of opening the innings.
Kirsten, Chappell’s full-time successor, did away with a lot of things fancied by the Australian legend. However, he kept faith in the basic principles of any “process” and wasn’t wary of saying so in public.
