Harbhajan Singh reveals his expectations from the soon-to-be appointed Team India coach

Amid the chatter on the head coach role for Team India, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has been reportedly engaged in a meeting with KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir for the job, and he looks to be convinced to succeed Rahul Dravid. Another name is Ashish Nehra, who has also been tipped for the role. Amid the chatter, Indian spin legend Harbhajan Singh has revealed what expectations he has from the person who will be appointed in the role of the coach.

"If I say it properly, it is a speculation, which is doing rounds...the biggest thing a coach can do is to bring everyone together, so that team plays together. So, whether Gautam becomes coach or Ashish Nehra, or whosoever gets the opportunity, hope they do better than what others before them did," Harbhajan told PTI in an interview.

Harbhajan Singh had also showcased interest in taking up the role, but he eventually denied being in the race, saying that he would not be able to give much time for the role. But when the right time comes, he will step forward for it.

The Gautam Gambhir links have been stronger than ever, and it looks like he could be the man in line for the job. However, the BCCI has yet to confirm the former cricket's role, and it is yet to be seen when will it take place.
