The recent 209-run thrashing India suffered against Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final has ignited a discussion about leadership and coaching. The sentiments are understandable, and many disgruntled fans have recommended a change in leadership on social media.
Sourav Ganguly, a former captain of India and ex-president of the BCCI, was questioned about whether he concurred that the team’s leadership needed to change in an interview with India Today. Before asking “how does social media influence” such important decisions, Ganguly felt that this was a “selector’s job” and a huge decision. Then, noting that a significant tournament is approaching, he supported both Rahul and Rohit as the ideal candidates for the position.
“Unquestionably, this will continue at least through the World Cup. I have no idea what Rohit has planned for himself after the World Cup. The coach and captain are currently the two best players for India, and I wish them luck,” added Ganguly.
