Warne still feels the IPL thrill

8220;The beauty of the competition was that I could bowl to Sachin Tendulkar in Rajasthan and a 70,000 home crowd would be cheering for me to knock over an icon of world cricket who is an Indian. That was unbelievable,8221; he said.

Known for his view that coaches have no business in international cricket, Warne doubled up as coach-cum-captain of the Rajasthan side and he stood thoroughly vindicated when his team won the trophy. 8220;It8217;s called the 8216;professional era8217; but I don8217;t think it works very well. You have a coach for this, a coach for that, you have got too many recovery sessions, too much mental stuff, too many team meetings, too much training for training8217;s sake, and it all takes away from the actual sport.

8220;To me, the captain must run the show. You train hard and then get out there and play. In Rajasthan, if we had a day off there were no meetings or any of that rubbish. If people needed to go to the gym or wanted a session in the pool, that was their business,8221; said Warne.
