Former Indian veteran said that Team India should have 2 coaches
Advocated for making specialist coach for T20
New Delhi. Should the Indian cricket team have 2 coaches? At least former off-spinner Harbhajan Singh believes the same. He has said that when Team India can have two captains. Rohit Sharma can captain Team India in Tests and ODIs and Hardik Pandya is playing this role in T20, then why can’t there be two coaches? Please tell that in the beginning of 2023, Pandya has been made the captain of the T20 team.
Harbhajan Singh said in an Indian Express program, “Yes, when you can have two captains, then why not two coaches? Whose planning is different. Like England did with Brendon McCullum. So can you. Someone like Virender Sehwag or Ashish Nehra who worked with Gujarat Titans and Hardik Pandya won his first tournament (IPL) as captain. So bring someone who understands the T20 format and knows the demands of the game well.
Having two coaches will keep the roles clear: Harbhajan
“Suppose if Ashish Nehra is the T20 coach, he knows that his job is to make the Indian team a champion in the T20 format and Rahul Dravid knows that the Indian team is going to win both Tests and ODIs,” Harbhajan said during an idea exchange session with Indian Express. How can I become number 1.
This off-spinner said that India has no dearth of talent. In such a situation, the time has come for Team India to win the ICC title. When he was asked why India has not won the World Cup after 2011? To this Harbhajan said, “The simple answer is that we are not able to handle the pressure.” Apart from this, he also cited the frequent changes in the team as the reason for this. He said that if India plays with the right mindset and intention, it can win the ODI World Cup at home this year.
