Interesting to see the global structure emerging. One person overseeing science for teams in IPL, SA20, and The Hundred. This is how modern sports management works. LSG group is thinking ahead.

He did good work with Team India, but the injury management in his last years was sometimes questionable. Just being honest. Hope he has a strong team under him at LSG. Player fitness is non-negotiable.

His LinkedIn post explains the role well. "World class standards in athlete performance" - that's the key phrase. If he can implement that across continents, it will set a new benchmark. Good luck to him!

From Delhi Capitals to LSG. The IPL carousel continues! 😄 On a serious note, his experience in rugby and football could bring new recovery techniques to our cricketers. That cross-sport knowledge is gold.

More than just physio, he's Performance Director material. Handling Mohun Bagan SG (ISL) too shows the group wants a unified sports science approach. Smart, long-term thinking by the RPSG group.
