Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly, who is keen to coach the national team in the future, added that it would be great to work with Virat Kohli and take Indian cricket forward. With Ravi Shastri's contract as head coach running till 2021, Ganguly did not rule out the possibility of coming on board in a couple of years. 

"Two years is some time away. But I have said in the past as well, I am interested in being India coach someday. It will feel great to work with Virat Kohli because he is a match-winner. He is a champion cricketer," Ganguly said. 

"If I can contribute and help the team win big tournaments and Test series in England, South Africa and the current Australian side with Steve Smith and David Warner that would be the endeavour. If the team can achieve that, it will be the USP of this side," Ganguly said.

However, he went on to add that he is not thinking too far ahead and is busy with his committments as the president of Cricket Association of Bengal and the mentor of IPL team Delhi Capitals. "But two years is a long way away and let's hope during this period as well, India continues to win the big tournaments they play in Australia and India and find success," Ganguly said.
