AMOL MUZUMDAR - PROFILE
Amol Muzumdar is an Indian cricket coach and former first-class cricketer, best known as the current head coach of the India women's national cricket team, which he guided to their maiden ICC Women's ODI World Cup victory in 2025.
Amol Muzumdar was considered an instant sensation in first-class cricket after he scored 260 runs in his very first Ranji Trophy match. At the time, this was a world record for most runs on debut. In an illustrious career spanning more than two decades, he aggregated over 11,000 runs and 30 centuries in first-class cricket-a record in the Ranji Trophy.
After retirement from competitive cricket in 2014, Muzumdar settled into coaching. First, he worked with young talent in India's Under-19 and Under-23 teams. His career progressed into international stints: with South Africa's cricket team as a batting consultant and IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals as a batting coach. He also contributed to coaching the Netherlands men's team.
In October 2023, the Board of Control for Cricket in India appointed Amol Muzumdar as the head coach of the Indian women's cricket team. Under the tutelage of Muzumdar, this Indian Women's team transformed miraculously and won their first-ever ICC Women's World Cup in 2025. Though defeated early in the tournament, Muzumdar's coaching brought calm and focus as the team regrouped for an inspiring semifinal win against Australia, followed by a historic victory in the final against South Africa. His mid-innings messages, such as the encouraging phrase "We just need one more run" during the semifinal, motivated the players.
Amol Muzumdar is a popular motivational speaker, who uses his inspiring journey as a cricketer who never played for India but became a World Cup-winning coach to deliver powerful messages on discipline, mental toughness, and writing one's own story, making him sought after Keynote speaker for corporate talks and events.
