Harbhajan Singh on Split Coaching for India
Harbhajan Singh, a former Indian cricket player, talked about whether India should have different coaches for their white-ball (like ODIs and T20s) and red-ball (Test) teams.
Some people think this might be a good idea because the team has had different levels of success in these formats.
Harbhajan said that right now, there isn't a need for this change, but it could be something to consider in the future.
He also mentioned that being a coach for India is a big job because you have to travel a lot, make team selections, and focus on match results.
Harbhajan Singh believes there's no immediate need for split coaching for India's white-ball and red-ball teams.
He acknowledges that the idea could be considered in the future if necessary.
Being a coach for India involves significant responsibilities, including traveling and team selections.
Gautam Gambhir is the current head coach of the Indian cricket team.
The suggestion for split coaching arises due to contrasting results in different formats under Gambhir's coaching.
