If Gautam Gambhir has applied for the role of India head coach, Sourav Ganguly believes he would be a suitable candidate.
Ganguly emphasized the importance of having an Indian coach due to the abundance of talent and expertise within the country.
While Gambhir's application status is uncertain, Ganguly expressed his admiration for Gambhir's work with Kolkata Knight Riders and his passion for the game.
The BCCI has invited applications for the head coach position, with May 27th as the initial deadline, but has the authority to extend it.
Other prominent names linked to the role include Ricky Ponting, Justin Langer, and Stephen Fleming.
Ganguly also expressed his confidence in India's chances of winning the T20 World Cup under Rohit Sharma's leadership.
India will begin their World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 5th after a warm-up match against Bangladesh on Saturday.
The BCCI has denied reports of unofficial discussions with Ricky Ponting regarding the coaching job.
The process of selecting the next India head coach is expected to be thorough and meticulous, with a focus on identifying individuals with a deep understanding of the Indian cricket system.
Gambhir's potential appointment as head coach would be a significant development in Indian cricket, as he is widely respected for his leadership skills and tactical acumen.
