Additionally, he endorsed former batter <!-- -->Gautam Gambhir<!-- --> as a potential great coach for the Men in Blue.<br \/>The BCCI is currently assessing candidates for the head coach position, as <!-- -->Rahul Dravid<!-- -->&#8216;s tenure is set to conclude following the end of the <!-- -->T20 World Cup<!-- --> 2024 in June.<br \/>Ganguly&#8217;s interest in the role, along with his support for Gambhir, adds to the ongoing discussions about the future leadership of the Indian cricket team.<br \/>&#8220;I would love to coach the Indian team. If he wants to do it, I think he will be a very good candidate,&#8221; Ganguly said while speaking to the media in Kolkata.<br \/>During an event at Medeor Hospital in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, Gambhir, a member of India&#8217;s victorious 2011 World Cup team, engaged with students. A student inquired about the possibility of Gambhir coaching the Indian team and utilising his expertise to guide them to a World Cup victory.<br \/>&#8220;I have not answered this question, although a lot of people have asked me. But I have to answer you now. I would love to coach the Indian team. There is no bigger honour than coaching your national team. You are representing 140 crore Indians and those across the globe as well,&#8221; Gambhir said with a smile on his face.<br \/>Ganguly expressed his support for wicketkeeper-batter <!-- -->Rishabh Pant<!-- --> and Team India in their participation in the ICC T20 World Cup. He backed both Pant and the team to perform well and succeed in the tournament.<br \/>&#8220;He (Rishabh Pant) will play well. He is a good player. The World Cup has not yet started, India is playing its warm-up matches. On 5th June, they are playing their first game. They will do well, they are a good side,&#8221; said Ganguly.<br \/>India will kick off their T20 World Cup campaign on June 5 against Ireland at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.<br \/>The highly anticipated blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan is scheduled for June 9. Following this, India will face tournament co-hosts USA on June 12 and Canada on June 15 to complete their Group A matches.<br \/><span class=\"strong \">India squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, <\/span><span class=\"strong \">Virat Kohli<\/span><span class=\"strong \">, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Sanju Samson (WK), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd.
