Harbhajan's opinion on split coaching
Meanwhile, Harbhajan had proposed the idea of split coaching for the Indian cricket team following their 2-0 clean sweep against South Africa in a two-match Test series at home in November last year. However, he had also defended current head coach Gautam Gambhir by stating: "Gautam Gambhir does not go there to play. When he was playing, he played well. He played very well for India. Everyone needs to be patient."
