Former India off-spinner and one of the most successful bowlers the country has seen, Harbhajan Singh has expressed his desire to coach Team India, if given an opportunity. He said, “I do not know if I would apply. Coaching India is about man management, not about teaching players how to drive and pull. They know it very well. You can give some guidance to them. Cricket has given me so much and If I get a chance to give it back, I would be more than happy.”
