Former Indian spinner Erapalli Prasanna fires on Kohli

New Delhi, June 23: Former Indian spinner Erapalli Prasanna has been slashed out on Virat Kohli ahead of the crisis between Kohli and Kumble.

He has said that the team doesn't really want a coach if the skipper can play the role of a "boss".

Prasanna's take came after Anil Kumble stepped down from the post of head coach earlier this week.

While speaking to the media here on Friday he said that "Why do they require a coach, if the captain is the boss? I don’t think they even need the services of batting or fielding coaches (Sanjay Bangar and R Sridhar)."

"Virat Kohli is undoubtedly a very good player but I do not know whether he is a good captain or not," he added.

The former spinner added that the kind of treatment Kumble got, other coaching staff won't be able to speak confidently in front of the skipper.

"If a legendary cricketer like Anil Kumble is not respected, I do not think neither of them — Bangar and Sridhar — will have the guts to speak to Kohli in a confident way. None of them are as experienced like Kumble," Prasanna said.

"Just hire somebody for the physical training and that will be enough. If such is the attitude of a captain I don’t think you require a coach," he added.
