Karendra Silva

Karendra Silva is a player coach in the Milton Premier League. Silva is currently the Head Coach for the Wild Warthogs for MPL 06. Silva has previously won MPL 02 and MPL 03 as Head Coach for the Rabid Rabbits.

Karendra Silva started his MPL career as the Head Coach of the Rabid Rabbits ahead of MPL 02, after he was a contracted MCL player for the Rabid Rabbits.

Silva coached legendary players such as Chris Gayle, James Clipper, Lasith Malinga, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. The Rabid Rabbits were eventual winners of MPL 02 as Karendra Silva became a MPL winning Head Coach.

The Rabid Rabbits subsequently contracted Karendra Silva again to be their Head Coach for what was expected to be Chris Gayle's last season. Gayle then had a season to remember in MPL 03, as he finished the leading run scorer and leading wicket taker of the tournament. Silva also coached Shane Warne and Sean Solia as the Rabbits managed to defend their MPL title. Karendra Silva became the first and currently only Head Coach to defend their MPL, as well as becoming a two time winning MPL Head Coach.

Unexpectedly, after winning two straight MPL titles for the Rabid Rabbits, Karendra Silva was let go as the Rabbits Head Coach in favour of Chris Gayle. Silva consequently was left out of any MPL action, even after he was nominated to play in MPL 05 as a player for the first time since his MCL career. It was obvious that Silva was no longer favourable with the Rabid Rabbits, even after all he had given the franchise.

However, just as Karendra Silva fell out of favour with the Rabbits, he was contracted by the Wild Warthogs to Head Coach their MPL 06 campaign. Silva became the first to Head Coach two MPL franchises in the MPL as a result...
