Gautam Gambhir & Split Coaching: Harbhajan Singh Backs Idea

  • Harbhajan Singh supports "split coaching" for Indian cricket, contrasting Gautam Gambhir's earlier indirect opposition to the idea.
  • Split coaching involves different coaches for white-ball and red-ball formats, a concept popularized by England's 2019 World Cup win.
  • Gambhir's Test coaching record shows more losses than wins, including two home series whitewashes, despite his white-ball success.
  • Harbhajan sympathizes with Gambhir but suggests split coaching might be necessary over time, citing the demanding nature of the role.
  • Rumors of BCCI approaching VVS Laxman for a Test coaching role exist, though denied, with India's next Test in August 2026.

Why It Matters: Harbhajan Singh backs split coaching for India, citing its potential need despite Gambhir's past reservations.
