India coach Ravi Shastri says he will work on confidence building instead of tinkering with player's style

Firstpost  

“Why should I change anyone’s style, or for that matter, why should anyone change his own style of doing things?,” said new coach Ravi Shastri. New Delhi: New India cricket coach Ravi Shastri plans to adopt a more hands-off approach to the role than his predecessor Anil Kumble, with the 55-year-old saying he has no intention of trying to act as a tutor the players. Kumble stepped down last month citing a breakdown in his relationship with skipper Virat Kohli, who according to media reports, resented the former captain’s ‘headmasterly’ methods. “As long as there’s a level of commitment, the hard yards are being put in and results are showing, why shouldn’t there be fun?” The Indian cricket board has also named former seamer Zaheer Khan as the team’s bowling consultant, while Rahul Dravid was appointed as batting consultant for overseas test series.
