Indian cricket new sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal is all praise for Zubin and even Jaiswal father now has acknowledged the sheer hard work done by 54 year old veteran on his son cricketing skills.
After joining Rajasthan Royals in 2014, Zubin has been with the franchise for quite some time now. From 2014 he has been with Rajasthan Royals in the role of Director of high performance, and those who have spent time with him is all praise for him.

Then, Bharucha jumped into cricket coaching. He has his academy in Mumbai where many test cricketers have trained. He has worked with lot of Indian players like Yuvraj Singh and even had worked with England and Wales Cricket board on technical aspects of the game.

Jaiswal didn’t have a great IPL 2022 season with only 2 fifties in 10 matches but after spending time with Bharucha, he is now a completely different player who is showing the England team the right way to play test cricket in their own style.
Zubin has a great mind over his shoulder and at the age of 54, he can be considered for India’s head coach or atleast he should be considered for some role in the supporting staff.
