It is the 'great respect' they have for one another that has ensured the successful partnership between India coach Gary Kirsten and captain MS Dhoni. Boria Majumdar gets to know how Kirsten goes about his business and more during an interview in Open magazine.
Indian cricket is constantly under the glare of the media and your job is perhaps the second most high-profile after the captain. In what ways do you feel the pressure and how do you negotiate it?
My role is to help prepare the players as best I can to give them the best chance of success. I attempt to work as hard as I can to do that. The game is about the players because they are the ones crossing the ropes to make a performance. They must receive the accolades, not me.
