Here's what Harbhajan Singh opined about replacements for Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma

“It’s not just the captain. If you can bring someone who has just retired from T20 cricket recently, someone who understands the format,” said Harbhajan Singh to India Today.

Later on, he also talked about the replacement of head coach Rahul Dravid, he went on to name the replacement for the 49-year-old.

“You know, with all due respect to Rahul Dravid, he was my colleague and we played a lot of cricket together, he has a great brain. But I think if you don’t want to remove Dravid from T20I as a coach then help him with someone who has recently retired. Someone like Ashish Nehra has got a great cricketing brain. Look what he has done there at Gujarat Franchise,” he added later.
