Noted coach Tarak Sinha no more

Tarak Sinha

Tarak Sinha, the Indian coach with most number of international and first-class cricketers as his disciples, died on Saturday morning after a prolonged illness. Sinha was 71. He was a bachelor and is survived by his sister and hundreds of students and well wishers, whose lives became better due to his positive presence.

His longtime assistant Devender Sharma, who has actively coached the likes of Rishabh Pant, was by his side. Just have a look at the names and one would know why conferring him with a lifetime Dronacharya Award as late as 2018 was a sacrilege.

His earlier students included the stalwarts of Delhi cricket. Surinder Khanna, Manoj Prabhakar, the late Raman Lamba, Ajay Sharma, Atul Wassan, Sanjiv Sharma all of whom ruled Delhi cricket and also played for India.
