We totally agree with the views of Venkat.k regarding M.K Kaushik as he is a is a great motivator and brilliant strategist. It was under his umbrella that Indian Eves was able to improve and exhibited great performance at the Asian level by defeating South Korea and China. His first International assignment was also with Men's Indian Hockey Team in 1998 during the Asian Games which was won by Men Team for the first time thanks to the brilliant form of Ashish Ballal.However beginning of this new chapter turned into a nightmare as 6 senior players including Goal keeper Ashish Ballal who was at his prime form , Mukesh kumar , Dhanraj Pillay, Gagan Ajit Singh were shown the door along with sacking of Mr Kaushik.This politics of IHF spelled an end to the career of Mukesh Kumar and the Gallant Goal keeper Ashish Ballal.M K Kaushik should be reinstated asap else if foreign coaches are to be hired then they should be Tier-I quality who charge hefty amount for contracts instead of low quality foreign coaches . Given the kind of resources IHF has MK Kaushik seems to be the best ption.
