Dhoni's pep talks inspired Indian women's cricket team?
Ecstatic with the women’s cricket team’s historic series triumph over Australia, men’s fielding coach R Sridhar has sought to claim a bit of credit for it
Sydney: Ecstatic with the women’s cricket team’s historic series triumph over Australia, men’s fielding coach R Sridhar has sought to claim a bit of credit for it, saying that pep talks from him and the likes of MS Dhoni might have contributed to the aggressive approach that Mithali Raj and Co displayed.
The visitors had won the first two matches of the series before going down in the last match here.
Sridhar said the girls played fearlessly, something that he and the men’s team members had advised them to do in a chance meetings in Adelaide and Melbourne.
“It was nice to bump into the Indian women’s team at Adelaide before the first T20I. I know the girls well from my tenure at the NCA and we have helped them in a few camps,” Sridhar told 'bcci.tv'.
“The very fact that captain MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Harbhajan Singh, Ajinkya Rahane and a few other boys went and met the girls at the ground shows that the men’s team takes equal interest in the women’s game,” Sridhar said.
