"Let's see what opportunities I get, but my priority is my kids right now. Once they start school, I will have more time. so I can pick up (coaching). I love working with the young guys, especially my state boys, and I feel that mentoring is something that I would love to do, and definitely to be part of one of the IPL teams, I'm definitely looking at," said Yuvraj as quoted by PTI.


"I asked Mr Ashish Nehra (Gujarat Titans) for a job, but he declined it. So, let's see where else I can get a position, but at the moment, I have to balance. So, definitely in the coming years, I want to give back to cricket and help the young guys get better. I can contribute a lot," he added.

Ashish Nehra is currently serving as the head coach of Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League. Under him, Gujarat Titans lifted the IPL trophy in their first very season. In the second outing, they, once again, reached the final but lost to CSK in the summit clash.
