Sandeep Patil is used to answering questions from the media, but has never been through a job interview.
Yesterday, he was at Bollywood king Shah Rukh Khan's residence to be interviewed for a coaching position at Kolkata Knight Riders.
It is learnt that KKR bosses want to hire an Indian as assistant coach. Patil had no problems with that. "I am a retired cricketer who wants to give back in any way I can. I don't have any ego problems in being an assistant coach. I told them that I was very happy to be considered," he said.
John Wright, Wasim Akram, Praveen Amre were interviewed too. A coaching position is vacant due to the departure of former Australia coach John Buchanan, whose two-year stint with the team was highly forgettable. KKR failed to reach the Indian Premier League semi-final in 2008 and 2009.
