Former India coach and noted commentator Ravi Shastri believes Gautam Gambhir can make an immediate impact in his new role as head coach because he’s a “contemporary” mentor and already close to the team.
"He is grinding it out at the Ranji Trophy and is always on the radar," said Shastri during the commentary.
Dhoni was seen training with Jharkhand's under-23 team in Ranchi last month, triggering a fresh round of speculation on a possible comeback.
Reports suggest that the former India captain will take a call on his future after next year’s Indian Premier League (IPL).
Sourav Ganguly heaped praise on the current Indian team and said that the ultimate ambition for him would be to make India win consistently on foreign soil.
Kohli also said that these conversations, along with rumours that are often spread about his wife and Bollywood star Anushka Sharma, are all "agenda-driven".
Ganguly said there was "absolute clarity" among the team think-tank on how to deal with Dhoni's future.
