In a cricketing era known for use of large-scale hi-tech gadgets, Rajasthan Royals skipper Shane Warne has revealed he never used computers for devising team strategy.
"We at Rajasthan Royals don't believe in using computers. We keep it in our brains. That's attitude for me," the legendary leg spinner told newspersons in Kolkata on the eve of his team's Indian Premier League match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Warne's deft captaincy has earned plaudits from cricket fans, with the Rajasthan side sitting pretty atop the chart after having virtually sealed a place in the semi final. Warne said he was relishing captaincy. "I enjoy captaincy. I have led Victoria, Hampshire, Australia in a couple of ODIs, and now the Rajasthan Royals."
On his approach to captaincy, Warne said "In our team we create an environment in which everybody, from Dinesh Salunke to Graeme Smith can voice their opinions. I take the final call."
A few days back, Warne's captaincy had been praised by Ian Chappell, who called the leggie 'The best captain Australia never had'.
Warne rubbished reports that the Australians were scared of playing in Jaipur after last Tuesday's bomb blasts. "Let me put it on record that we were never scared. We were concerned about the people of Jaipur, we can help them."
