5 reasons why Sourav Ganguly should be the next Bangladesh coach

#2 Batting expertise will rub off

Tamim Iqbal will benefit from Ganguly's presence

Sourav Ganguly was labelled as the God of offside due to his insane ability to put almost anything outside off-stump to the boundary. Be it a cover drive or an off-cut, nobody could do it better than Ganguly.

And who can forget those straight sixes on top of the bowler’s head while dancing down the track? Ganguly’s astute leadership (more on that later) often makes people overlook his skills as a batsman. There were only a very few lefties who could time the ball like did.

And it is this very skill as a batsman that could help the batters of the Bangladesh national team. Unlike Haturusinghe, Ganguly was actually a world class batsman and can pass on a trick or two, especially to the likes left-handers like Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Imrul Kayes and Shakib al-Hasan.

Soumya Sarkar and Tamim Iqbal, in particular, will benefit a lot from the exposure as the two are explosive batsmen like Ganguly was in his prime.
