Sandhu To Train Sohail Khan’s Mumbai Heroes Cricket Team

Sohail Khan’s celebrity cricket team, Mumbai Heroes, made its debut last year. But the team, which included big names like Salman Khan, Suniel Shetty, Ritesh Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani, finished last.

Sohail admits, “Back then, we went unprepared, thinking of it as a friendly match. But we
realised soon enough that even the matches at the celebrity league are played with a high degree of competition. This time, we are better prepared and equipped.”

Sohail has hired former Indian Test cricketer Balvinder Singh Sandhu to train his team for the second season starting in January. They’ve now been doing net practice for over five weeks.

Balvinder says, “These celebrities are not regular cricketers, so we worked on the basics of the game. We first built their stamina, judgment of the ball, swing of the bat and bowling. The most important part is practicing match simulations.” The coach informs since all the team members can’t make it at the same time for practice, they are coached at different hours. Source
