The Story in Brief
R Ashwin, retired from all Indian cricket last year, is now mentor for Dindigul Dragons in TNPL Season 10. Dragons captain B. Indrajith said Ashwin joined pre-season camps in Salem and participated in auction calls from the USA at 2 am. Coach Guru Kedarnath admitted Ashwin as a player is 'irreplaceable'.
Ashwin said in a video that young talents should now take the team forward, adding that one of them could become the next great player from Tamil Nadu. The Dragons coaching contingent also includes Guru Kedarnath, R. Srinivasan, and K. Vignesh. The TNPL season 10 will be the first without Ashwin in the playing XI.
The Indian Opinion
The 'irreplaceable' narrative around Ashwin sounds like a franchise trying to justify a star's absence without admitting roster gaps. Dragons have other coaches too. The real test is whether young players actually improve under this setup or just bask in reflected glory. Watch for Indrajith's strike rate this season, that will show if mentorship translates to runs.
