Lucknow: The tenure of Indian cricket team's head coach Rahul Dravid is ending after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had sought applications for the post of head coach, the last date for which was fixed as 27 May 2024. This period has now ended and BCCI has received a total of more than 3000 applications for this post. However, there are some fake applications in it. Now former India captain Sourav Ganguly has given his opinion on the selection of the head coach. He says that one should use the brain before choosing anyone.

In fact, the name of former India opener and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Gautam Gambhir is currently being considered as the frontrunner for the post of head coach of India. Let us tell you that earlier the names of Australia's Ricky Ponting and Justin Langer were also included in this race but they have refused to take responsibility for this post and now Gambhir's name is leading. He had given Kolkata the third title in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, which makes him a strong contender. Now regarding this, Ganguly shared a cryptic post on his official X account.
He wrote, “The importance of a coach in one's life, their guidance and constant training shape the future of any person both on and off the field. So choose the coach and the institute wisely.”
Although the former Indian captain has not taken the name of BCCI here, but it is being linked to the post of head coach of India. In such a situation, the question arises that what does Ganguly want to say. Is he not in favor of making Gambhir the head coach? However, the answers to all these questions will be found very soon because the name for the post of head coach of India can be announced soon.
If media reports are to be believed, the deal between BCCI and Gambhir has been finalised and he will be the next head coach. The Board of Control for Cricket in India can announce his name soon and Gautam can take over the coaching responsibility of India after the T20 World Cup. Now it will be interesting to see when BCCI finally approves the name of India's head coach.
