    "editor1": "<p>Indian team coach Anil Kumble has started exceuting his plans for the upcoming West Indies tour. As per the reports, Kumble has already reintroduced a method tried and tested by Wright; the &ldquo;buddy system&rdquo;. Under this method,&nbsp;the players are grouped&nbsp;in teams of two; usually pairing a batsman with a bowler or a batsman with an all rounder and encouraging them to help out each other in specific departments so as to ensure a complete and all round development of all players.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This tactic was first introduced by Wright before the 2001 series against Australia. A famous &ldquo;buddy pair&rdquo; to emerge out of this system was the indomitable pair of VVS Laxman and Zaheer Khan where the former became the latter&#39;s unofficial batting coach. Kumble has tried to establish something similar assigning partnerships like Shikhar Dhawan and Mohammad Shami, Virat Kohli and bowler Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Cheteshwar Pujara and Amit Mishra. Check <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/amit-mishra-ready-to-pick-tips-from-kumble--17312\">Amit Mishra&#39;s take on Kumble as Coach<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to Amit Mishra, who is paired with Cheteshwar Pujara, &quot;My buddy is Pujara. Since he bowls leg-spin, he has been paired with me. He helps me with my batting, and I with his leg-spin. The idea is that whenever the need arises in a match, Pujara and other batsmen can chip in by bowling 7-8 overs. Similarly, I should be able to contribute with the bat,&quot;.<\/p>\r\n",
