Can Sourav Ganguly really coach Team India?

With his spectacular leadership skills and aggressive batting, Sourav Ganguly helped Team India to achieve on-field Tigers status. The former captain has expressed his desire to coach the Men in Blue. How will the Prince of Kolkata fare in the back-stage job? Ahmedbad citizens Speak Up…

I am confident that Sourav will certainly bring discipline in the dressing room, something that he did as a captain. Having retired from active cricket recently, he knows the needs of a player. Also, there is no age bar for coaching.

Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Virender Sehwag made it to the Indian team, all thanks to Sourav Ganguly. It was him who injected the much-needed killer instinct in the team, after he took over the captaincy. As a coach he will form a good team with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

I don’t think Sourav Ganguly should take the job right now. There are a few players who have played with him. It will be difficult for these players to adjust with him as a superior. Being a colleague and being a boss are two different things.
— Misaal Shah, businessman

He has been successful as the captain and will be a good coach too. Why should we have a foreign coach when we have very good game-readers like Ganguly? Dada should get a chance to prove himself as a coach.

It is too early for Ganguly to coach Team India. He has been one of the most successful captains of Indian Cricket but first he needs experience with junior teams before taking up the big task.

I don’t think Ganguly is ready for the job. He was a successful captain and gave a new dimension to the India team, but at the same time he had his own score of controversies. Current coach (Duncan Fletcher) is doing a decent job.

I respect him as a wonderful player who has proven himself as an asset to the Indian Cricket team as a player as well as the captain. But he can create differences between the team and the coach as has happened earlier. Ganguly would like to have command wherein MS Dhoni likes to lead the team in his own way.
