He dominated domestic cricket for 21 years, scoring over 11,000 runs at an average of nearly 50, yet, for some reason, he never got a single chance to play for India.
He retired in 2012 and moved into coaching. In October 2023, he was appointed head coach of the Indian womenβs cricket team at a time when the team was struggling for stability. He led them to an ICC final after eight years, and eventually, to their first-ever World Cup title.
