Jaipur: Australian spin legend Shane Warne today said it will be difficult for India to find a suitable replacement for coach Gary Kirsten, under whom the side reached the pinnacle of the game.
The former South Africa opener decided against extending his contract with the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) to spend time with his family.
"He is a quality person and it would be hard to find a replacement for him. Under him Indian team has reached the number one spot in Tests and won the World Cup.
"He is a fantastic coach and a quality person. Anyone who takes on now onwards will enjoy working with Indian team. He would find things a lot easier because Indian has a good side now," Warne told reporters here at a function to release the new jersey of the IPL Franchisee Rajasthan Royals.
Warne, who is the coach-cum-captain of Rajasthan Royals, is quite hopeful that his side will re-produce the magic of the inaugural edition when they went on to claim the title.
"We have almost similar set of players with experience and also few promising youngsters. I have same feeling as that of IPL-I and believe we can surprise everybody once again," he said.
