ICC Umpire & Author Simon Taufel on escaping death, evolution of Virat Kohli & leadership of MS Dhoni

The boss on this episode is the world's most decorated ICC Umpire. 5 time consecutive ICC Umpire of the Year and a freshly minted author, Simon Taufel, is a Cricket legend. Despite initially having no intention of becoming an umpire, he agreed to go along with a friend to an umpiring course. After he passed the subsequent exam he began umpiring grade cricket. He quickly progressed through the ranks and made his first class debut in 1995, aged just 24. Simon stood in his first One Day International (ODI) on 13 January 1999 in the match between Australia and Sri Lanka at Sydney when he was 27 years old. He umpired his first Test match in December 2000 – the Boxing Day Test between Australia and West Indies at Melbourne. He became a member of the Emirates International Panel of ICC Umpires in 2002. He was chosen to umpire at the 2003 Cricket World Cup. Taufel is the youngest person to have received the ICC's Bronze Bails Award for umpiring 100 ODIs. In this conversation with Hardik Vaidya, Simon talks about his newly launched book - Finding the Gaps, his thoughts on Virat Kohli's evolution as a player, MS Dhoni's leadership style, and many interesting anecdotes from the field.
