Management
They are all icons in their own terms. Proven track record, who can single handedly perform complex feats. Consistently "exceeded expectations" and performed more than what they are expected to perform.
When you put some of them in a single place, what do you expect. That is your dream team.
What could be the reasons for such a team to fail to meet basic objectives?
Failure to understand common objective?
No commitment to achieve the goal?
Bad leadership, which failed to drive them to achieve common goal?
The team in question is Deccan Chargers.
Is it bad leadership, to some extent yes, and it was visible in first few games. Even after Gilly took over as captain, things haven't changed much.
What is the root cause? Not sure, but some random thoughts about IPL.
Teams which have succeeded, had a leader who is either an expert at job(T20 cricket, not just cricket) or a good people manager.
Raj Royals - people manager. He understood the strengths and weaknesses of team, and used them in the best available fashion.
Chennai Super Kings - good at both. May be a good mix.
Kings Punjab - technical expert, who may not be a great people manager.
Kolkata - Good people manager.
Delhi Daredevils - May be a reasonable mix, but a good tech expert.
Other teams' captains are lacking this. So leadership may play a major part than the best possible minds on your task. In all the above teams also, except Punjab, most others are good managers, which is helping the team.
And all the above mentioned teams have a foreign coach. Only the others have Indian coaches.
Hyderabad(Robin Singh)
Bangalore(Venkatesh Prasad)
Mumbai(Lalchand Rajput)
Is it adding a new dimension to the already complex management theory. Are they contributing to the technique, or the external coaches are good "team management experts" ?
Because they themselves never played T20, and the job of a coach in such tournaments is limited to team strategy rather than teaching the players.
Just some random thoughts.
