Harbhajan said that Nehra is more suitable than Dravid to coach the T20 team
Former bowler Harbhajan Singh believes someone like Ashish Nehra should be a part of India’s T20 coaching system as he understands the shortest international format of the game better than current head coach Rahul Dravid. Nehra had retired from the game in 2017 and earlier this year had played a key role in guiding Gujarat Titans to the title on their IPL debut.
Harbhajan told ‘PTI-Bhasha’, ‘In T20 format you should have someone like Ashish Nehra who has recently said goodbye to the game. He understands this format better. I have played with Rahul for a long time and have full respect for him. I am not questioning his understanding of the game but this format is a bit different and difficult. “Harbhajan said,” Anyone who has played this game recently is better suited for the coaching job in T20. I am not saying that you should remove Rahul from T20. Both Ashish and Rahul can work together to build the team for the 2024 World Cup.
Harbhajan is part of the Delhi Bulls team in the Abu Dhabi T10 League. England’s T20 World Cup triumph has fueled the debate on choosing different coaches and players for different formats. “With such an arrangement, it would be easier for Rahul to take a break as well and in his absence, Nehra can take over as the coach of the team,” he added.
