(India Under-19 cricket team, led team to the U-19 Cricket World Cup victory in 2012)
For some time now, Unmukt has developed his mental skills through meditation and lessons from his guru, Badri Narayan, a well-known mental conditioning coach, introduced to him by Shikhar Dhawan, and Amritha Venkatraman, noted art therapist
“It has helped me sort out small mistakes. It was nice of Shikhar to put me on to Badri. It is an ongoing process.” – Unmukt Chand, Captain
Joe Salisbury
“Badri makes things simple. There is a clear focus which is not easy to do but it is simple. It allows you to play your best, or at least give yourself the chance to play well, no matter the score, or the match, or the situation”
Joe Salisbury, ATP Tennis, 2020 Australian Open Doubles Grand slam Champion


Divij Sharan
“Badri not only helped me get through a rough time in my career, he has also helped me work my way up to my best ranking. We’ve touched upon a lot of mental aspects and set up different routines and principles that have helped me reach higher levels of performance. He is one of the most sincere and invested coaches I’ve worked with and makes sure that we come up with a solution for any sort of situation or problem. He definitely has played an important role in my success.”
