Daredevils’ coaches share insights with schoolboys at camp


NEW DELHI, March 20, 2013: The Delhi Daredevils delivered its promise of letting a set of talented school boys from the National Capital Region of Delhi have a tryst with its coaching staff at the Jamia Milia Islamia ground here today.

Led by Team Mentor TA Sekar and Head Coach Eric Simons, the Delhi Daredevils coaches spent time sharing their insights with nearly three dozen teenagers at the start of the two-day camp.

Simons often shared a laugh with the trainees I to break barriers of awkwardness that the youngsters sometimes felt in the presence of the India’s erstwhile bowling coach. “I don’t believe in making too many changes. I have shared some insights into the game with the players and if they can follow them, they will see the results,” he said.

Sekar spent time with the fastmedium bowlers and told them about the importance of shoulder position and structure while delivery. “I hope they will think about it and work on these areas. I have asked them to give me feedback about what works for them and what doesn’t,” he said.

Team Manager Aashish Kapoor and Batting Coach Trent Woodhill were at hand to help the boys with tips on spin bowling and batting. It was evident that the schoolboys enjoyed the session, eagerly lapping up every word that the coaches spoke, to the point that one of the most talented batsmen Vishal Adlakha’s father said he would let his son attend the second day’s session too at the cost of his Board examination tomorrow.
