Good IPL 2022 coaches provide team members with one-to-one training, leadership and clear instructions. Excellent IPL 2022 coaches have the ability to lead an IPL team with the utmost positivity, can instil sportsmanship, and keep team members in high spirits.
Since IPL 2022 coaches operate on the sidelines and out of the spotlight, we normally don’t get to appreciate the significant role that the coaches in the IPL play. An exceptional coach who can perfectly balance all of these factors can transform underdogs into heroes overnight. Read further as we tell you more about the five best coaches in the IPL!
- Brendon McCullum
Born on 27 September 1981, Brendon McCullum is a New Zealand cricket commentator and former New Zealand cricket all-star. He’s regarded as New Zealand’s most successful cricket captain and batsman, scoring the fastest recorded test century of all time. Brendan McCullum played 109 matches in the IPL between 2008 and 2018.
Many avid IPL followers are still in awe of Brendon’s 158 runs not out, scoring from 78 balls when he batted for the KKRs in 2008. In 2019 he became the official coach for the KKRs. Brendon was quoted saying that his coaching style is a bit wild. We think it’s rather effective too!
