Australia's Marcus Stoinis hires Indian coach to succeed at international level

Australia's Marcus Stoinis hired Indian peak performance coach Anand Chulani to translate his potential into performance.

Mumbai: Australian cricketer Marcus Stoinis produced one of the greatest all-round performances against New Zealand in the first match of the Chappell-Hadlee series. The rookie cricketer scored 146 not out off 117 balls batting at No.7, and took three vital wickets for 49 runs.

The Aussie is looking to cement his place in the national team, and now it has come to the light that an Indian is helping him to reach his goal. Stoinis has hired the services of India’s peak performance coach Anand Chulani to translate his potential into performance, according to Sportskeeda. Chulani has helped him to become the first Australian cricketer to score a century and scalp three wickets in an ODI.

Stoinis met Chulani while playing for Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kings XI Punjab. Chulani was the official peak performance and mental conditioning for the IPL team.

"My time working with peak performance and mental conditioning coach Anand Chulani with Kings XI Punjab in the IPL has been a key moment in my career,” said Stonis. “We've continued to work since the IPL and that has helped me bring out my potential.

“I've always believed in myself but our work has helped me develop the mindset of a champion and a process to deliver my best. I am excited to continuing to work with him for a long time and helping my country and the Kings XI franchise win games."

Chulani has earlier worked with notable sportspersons like Serena Williams and Ross Taylor.
