Ranking top 10 IPL coaches of all time
A friendly coach who can be strict when needed would be an ideal candidate.
6) John Wright
New Zealanders seem to make successful coaches, don’t they? We have yet another Kiwi on this list. John Wright was a former New Zealand batsman and captain who did a tremendous job.
After coaching a county side, his international coaching journey started with India in 2000. During his tenure of 5 years, several path-breaking victories came India’s way, reaching the World Cup final in 2003 and drawing the Border-Gavaskar trophy 2003-04 being the major ones. Seeing his successful stints in the international career, Wright was recruited by the Mumbai Indians in 2013 to crack the code for winning the title.
This decision brought immediate results as MI won the 2013 edition itself. He also coached MI in 2014 where they reached the playoffs. Wright is also credited with the spotting of ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah in the domestic circuit in 2013. Thus, he is one of the better coaches in the league.
