...problems, aside from the challenges of adapting to a new coach with a new coaching agenda.

He was Chief of Army Staff during a smaller conflict between the two countries in 1999, a bloody tussle that some feared might go nuclear as both India and Pakistan had just carried out nuclear tests and had - and continue to have...
