Gurcharan Singh
Director & Chief Coach
Gurcharan Singh, who has devoted his life for more than half a century to coaching, trained many Indian cricketers who have played international matches for the nation successfully.
Gurcharan Singh can perhaps be the sole coach in the world who has guided 12 international cricketers and over a hundred domestic cricketers, and that too is a living tribute to his lifetime endeavour to service the cause of Indian cricket.
His genuine advisory work to develop the game of cricket in the corporate world has functioned to a great extent to solidify the much-desired corporate patronage to groom young Indian cricket heroes, right from grass-roots.
Singh has been holding various responsible roles within the institutional infrastructure of Indian cricket and has been the reason behind numerous systemic reforms that have given a facelift to Indian cricket. His lasting contribution to coaching Indian cricket has been acknowledged at the highest level.
He was given the prestigious 'Dronacharya Award' the highest award for a sports coach in 1987 and the Padma Shri Award in 2023, one of India's most distinguished civilian honours by the Government of India, for his enduring contribution to Indian cricket coaching and his relentless commitment to taking all his wards, in fact almost a generation of them, to newer heights, to place Indian cricket at the top competitive level of the world.
