Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Saturday said Gautam Gambhir would be a “good coach” for the national cricket team if he has applied for the job as his “hunger and passion” was evident in the recently-concluded IPL.

Speaking at the inauguration of the International Procurement and Supply Chain Conference organised by the Blue Ocean Corporation, Ganguly also gave his views on India’s chances in the upcoming T20 World Cup. The former BCCI president said he is in favour of the national team having an Indian coach since there is enough talent in the country.

“I am in favour of an Indian coach because we have enormous talent in our country, enormously high-skilled players who have done wonders for Indian cricket and very rightfully they should be a part of the system,” Ganguly said.
