Harbhajan Singh urges BCCI to give a coaching role to Ashish Nehra with national team

Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has urged the Board of Control for Cricket in India to rope in the services of Ashish Nehra as a coach for the national team. Nehra has done a tremendous job for the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League.

The former Indian fast bowler led GT to glory in IPL 2022 and in the following season, they ended as the runners-up. GT could not qualify for the playoffs in the previous season but they are currently at the top of the IPL standings in the ongoing edition with six wins in eight games.

GT registered a convincing 39-run win against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Monday.

Harbhajan Singh said on his YouTube Channel, “I think there is no better coach than him for the Indian team in the present scenario. He is a very great coach. BCCI should ask him wether he wants to work with the Indian team or not. I don’t think he will agree because he won’t be able to give that much time. But there it no better option than him.”

The former off-spinner said Nehra has added life into Gujarat Titans’ team since the day he joined the franchise.

The Turbanator concluded, “Well done, Ashish Nehra. From the day he joined, he has breathed life into this team. Every year this team comes prepared. People say that a left-arm spinner can’t bowl to left-handed batters, or that an off-spinner can’t bowl to right-handed batters, but Ashish Nehra’s bowlers have done it all. It is about the mindset, and this is what Ashish Nehra brings.”

Nehra has definitely got the best out of his players and has played an instrumental role in the success of the franchise.

Gujarat Titans will next take on Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, on Monday.
