CHENNAI: Newly-appointed Team India coach Ravi Shastri 's statement that he is the one who should pick his support staff has created a stir over the past couple of days. On Sunday, Shastri found a staunch supporter in former India fielding coach Robin Singh Robin, who was the fielding coach of the Indian team from 2007-2009, stressed if he was the coach, then he would want people with whom "he is comfortable" with. At the end of the day, if I'm coach, I would want people who I'm comfortable with. Robin also didn't want to comment on the Virat Kohli-Anil Kumble showdown stating that he wasn't aware of what was going on. I would pass on whomsoever the player they are looking at for our franchise as well as other franchisee.
