Ever since the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has advertised for the post of new head coach of Team India, there has been a lot of discussion about it in the cricket world. It is worth noting that the tenure of the current head coach of the Indian cricket team, Rahul Dravid, is ending after the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.

So many coaches including former cricketers have shown interest in this high profile job of the Indian cricket team. Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir’s name seems to be at the top in the list of cricketers who will become the new head of Team India. However, now a new name has been added to this list, that of former veteran spinner and famous as Turbanator Harbhajan Singh.

Harbhajan Singh joins the race to become the head coach of the Indian cricket team

Let us tell you that recently in an interview given to Times of India, Harbhajan Singh said – I do not know whether I will apply for this post or not. Coaching in India is about management, not about who should pull the players’ cart and who should drive it.

They (BCCI) know this very well, you can guide the players. Cricket has given a lot, and I would be very happy if I get a chance to give it back.

From this statement given by Harbhajan Singh, you can guess that he has not directly said whether he will apply for the post of head coach of Team India or not. However, it can be inferred from this statement that now Harbhajan has also joined the race to become the head coach of Team India.

Also, let us tell you that in the race to become the new head coach of the Indian cricket team, the names of Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming and Lucknow Super Giants head coach Justin Langer are also being discussed. It will be worth seeing who becomes the new head coach of Team India.
