An interview with the Head Coach of the Hyderabad IPL team
The Hyderabad IPL team won the IPL trophy this year. The team performed very well and the captain in his remarks during the presentation ceremony appreciated the efforts of their head coach TM for his relentless efforts in improving the performance levels of all the team members in all the departments of the game, namely batting, bowling and fielding.DC, a journalist from an English newspaper based in Hyderabad interviewed the head coach of the team, TM.
DC: Congratulations on winning the IPL trophy this year. As a head coach of the team, how do you feel about it?
TM: Thank you. Success is very sweet for anybody. We enjoyed the success and our boys did an excellent job and made all of us proud. I thank the Hyderabad team management for giving me full freedom in preparing the boys for this big battle. All the boys worked together as a team and all of them always used to say 'We' only but never 'I'. They all struggled for many days to keep up with the expectations their management had on them.
DC: As a head coach of the team, what plan of action you have implemented for making the team win the cup this year?
TM: I and my support staff along with all the players spent a lot of time on the field practicing the game. Then we watched many videos of past games to know the strong points and weak points of all the players participating in the tournament. This attempt made our bowlers make their strategy of bowling to the opponent. Similarly, our batters understood the bowling styles of bowlers from the other teams and practised facing such balls elegantly. We all know that catches win matches. Fielding is very important and boys should be alert on the field. In this department, our support staff helped the players in practising difficult catches also. The efforts of the players as a unit paid off rich dividends. We have seen that all the team members will be positive on and off the field. That approach made us win the cup, I feel.
DC: Before winding off my final question is, Are you going to recommend the same team to the Hyderabad team management for next year's IPL trophy?
TM: I am not sure whether the management will retain me as their head coach for the next tournament. (A big laugh by both TM and DC). By winning this trophy our boys made our management happy and the management will also have its strategy. Still, time is there and let us see how things will shape up. Thank you and bye.
