Southee, who represented the franchise in the IPL in 2021, 2022 and 2023 seasons, steps into the role at KKR after his predecessor Bharat Arun joined Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and will work alongside head coach Abhishek Nayar, mentor Dwayne Bravo, and newly appointed assistant coach Shane Watson.
Reflecting on KKR’s narrow loss in their tournament opener, Arun said the team had drawn key takeaways despite the result.
With a hope to draw the match and the series, Arun has said that India had initially planned to strengthen their batting and play only four bowlers.
Indian bowling coach Bharat Arun earlier said that it would take at least 6-8 weeks for the players to be match fit again.
The 57-year-old former India pacer Bharat Arun, though, did not speak much about how banning the use of saliva would impact reverse swing.
While there have been talks of how the Indian bowlers have failed to defend totals in limited-overs cricket, especially T20Is, Arun said that the bowling unit has done a good job.
India bowling coach Bharat Arun informed recently that Jasprit Bumrah won't require any surgery and hoped for his return before India's tour of New Zealand.
Arun also echoed skipper Virat Kohli, who had said managing the workload of his players was the most important aspect he and the team management were looking at.
The decision was taken by the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) and was uploaded in the minutes on BCCI's website.
India's bowling coach Bharat Arun on Saturday said Jasprit Bumrah's unconventional bowling action makes him one of the most difficult bowlers.
