Internet Desk: Veteran Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has backed legendary pacer Zaheer Khan to become Indian cricket team’s new bowling coach. Anil Kumble is holding the head coach’s chair and Sanjay Bangar is the batting coach of Men in Blue. But there is no bowling coach in the Indian cricket team right now.
According to Bhajji the legendary left arm pacer is the idle person to become the bowling coach of Virat & co.
Harbhajan posted a tweet to support Zaheer and his post read: “@ImZaheer would be the best option for Indian fast bowling coach in my opinion..Great mind #Greatfella”
Zaheer was the captain of Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League season 10, where he took 10 wickets in 11 games and showed everyone that what he can do with the ball still now.
According to the reports the BCCI office-bearers are looking for a bowling coach to reduce some burden from the shoulders of head coach Anil Kumble and Zaheer is the idle candidate to take the job for bowling coach’s post.
In recent past, Zaheer also said many times that he is open always open for different roles.
“I am open to it. I have already been advising the boys, so yes, I am open,” said Zaheer after his retirement from the game.
Zaheer led the Indian bowling attack in 2011 World Cup where Dhoni and co. lift the title after 28 long years.
The legendary left-arm first bowler played 92 Tests and 200 ODI matches for his country and took 311 and 282 wickets respectively in these two formats.
