Warne puts his hand up for India job?

According to reports, former Australian spinner Shane Warne on Wednesday suggested that he'd vie for the position of Indian coach if afforded the opportunity, as the World Cup-winning nation search for a successor to Gary Kirsten.
Having announced earlier in the year that he would renew his contract with the BCCI after the ODI showpiece, former South African batsman Kirsten brought to a triumphant end to his role as head coach of the sub-continental big guns with victory over Sri Lanka in Saturday's final in Mumbai.
"It is a very difficult job to be India coach, it is never easy," Warne was quoted as saying in the Mail Today.
"But with India doing so well, it is a lot easier to take over right now than it has been in the past. I'll enjoy working with the Indian cricket team for sure.
"Kirsten is a quality person and it would be hard to find a replacement for him. Under him, the Indian team has reached the number one spot in Tests and won the World Cup.
"He is a fantastic coach."
Warne finished his international career in 2007 and has since, among other off-field exploits, captained and coached the Rajasthan Royals across three editions of the Twenty20 Indian Premier League, the first of which saw the Jaipur-bred franchise claim the title under the animated Australian's leadership.
