Win Projections to be updated soon
Lasith Malinga was appointed as the new bowling coach by the five-time champion Mumbai Indians, ending Shane Bond’s nine-year tenure with the team. Contrarily, Shane Bond joined the Royals family and would wear the pink jersey of the Paarl Royals, Rajasthan’s sister team, in the SA20 and the upcoming Indian Premier League.
In his remarks regarding his coaching career thus far, Bond said he had a great time working with Mumbai in the lucrative IPL, helping to shape rookies like Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya into extraordinary bowlers.
It was enjoyable to watch Bumrah and Pandya grow from being local players to becoming international and eventually world-class athletes; it has also been enjoyable to have been a little part of that. Sportstar cited Bond as saying, “My nine years in Mumbai were an amazing period.
Additionally, he mentioned that Mohammed Siraj is bowling quite well right now and that he is happy with the advancements made recently by players like Gerald Coetzee, Dilshan Madushanka, and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
“Right now, Siraj is fantastic. You overlook Shaheen Afridi’s youth when you watch individuals like him rise to prominence. You have to keep in mind that he is only 23 years old and that he has experienced some physical issues. The young man has enormous expectations. During the World Cup, many young, talented fast bowlers like Gerald Coetzee and Dilshan Madushanka made an appearance,” the 48-year-old continued.
Playing in Eden Gardens was an amazing experience. Shane Bond
Since Shane Bond was signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2010 for INR 4.8 crore, the IPL and Bond have been associated. The former cricket player talked about his experiences playing in front of Eden Gardens, saying that the fans used to be very rowdy and that he enjoyed changing rooms with some of the game’s greatest players.
“I made a lot of friends at Eden Gardens, which was a fantastic playground with lots of noise.” “I had an amazing time playing with Ajit Agarkar, who is currently the chairman of selectors for India, Chris Gayle, Sourav Ganguly, and David Hussey,” Bond remarked.
