It’s been one of the hardest good byes to say: Kirsten

Mumbai: An Emotional outgoing India coach Gary Kirsten today said bidding adieu to the team he has nurtured for three years is one of the hardest goodbyes he has ever had to say but is satisfied to leave Indian cricket in a “healthy” state.
“It has been one of the hardest good byes I have had to say,” Kirsten told reporters in his farewell press conference after serving out a successful term during which the Indian team reached the pinnacle of Test rankings besides lifting its first World Cup title in 28 years, last week.
“It has been an amazing achievement to be a part of this special group of cricketers,” he said.
Kirsten came into the job with no coaching experience but turned out to be the most successful for India and the South African said having no prior experience probably worked to his advantage.
