Would love to coach the Indian team: Gautam Gambhir
The Hindu
Gautam Gambhir expresses interest in coaching the Indian cricket team, backed by Sourav Ganguly, aiming for World Cup success.
Former India batter Gautam Gambhir has said he would "love to coach" the national team amid speculation that he is front-runner for the high-profile job.
Gambhir recently guided Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL title and is seen as an able successor to Rahul Dravid, whose contract expires after the ongoing T20 World Cup.
The deadline to apply for the head coach's role was May 27 but it is still not clear if Gambhir has submitted his application.
“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,” said the 42-year-old at an event in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
Earlier this week, former India captain Sourav Ganguly had backed Gambhir for the India head coach role, saying "he is a good candidate".
Gambhir was addressing a gathering of students at Medeor Hospital in Abu Dhabi.
When one of the students asked him about coaching the Indian cricket team and helping them win the World Cup with his experience, Gambhir responded, “I have not answered this question, although lot of people have asked me. But I have to answer you now.
