Gautam Gambhir’s potential appointment as the new head coach of the Indian cricket team garnered support from former India captain Sourav Ganguly.

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir is being considered for the prestigious role of head coach of the Indian cricket team. Rumours about his potential appointment have surfaced as Rahul Dravid’s tenure is set to end after the T20 World Cup in 2024.

Gambhir has fully committed himself to cricket, leading the Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL title on May 26. Known for his vocal stance on the need for a change in approach within the Indian team to reclaim ICC silverware, Gambhir’s potential appointment is seen as a significant move.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has publicly supported Gambhir for the head coach position, describing him as a passionate and honest candidate. “He is passionate, he is honest, and he is a very good candidate. There is indeed a difference between coaching or mentoring a franchise and coaching an international team, especially a high-profile team like India. But I am sure Gautam will know it and be aware of it,” Ganguly told RevSportz.

Ganguly highlighted Gambhir’s ability to manage high-profile players such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. “He will know how to deal with stars like Virat and Rohit and will surely adapt himself to the culture of the changing room. It is not just about pushing your own thoughts. He will, I am sure, think and carry the change room with himself,” Ganguly added.

Ganguly’s comments followed a cryptic post he shared regarding India’s search for a new coach. Speculation among fans included names like Justin Langer, Stephen Fleming, and Ricky Ponting for the position.

Moving forward, the coach selection will be revealed soon. Meanwhile, India gears up for its first match of the T20 World Cup, which will take place on June 5th against Ireland.
