“Rohit, Dravid, and selectors…,” says Ganguly of India’s prospects in the ODI World Cup.
Even though India hasn’t won an ICC title since 2013, Sourav Ganguly, a former captain, and BCCI president think they have the talent to win the ODI World Cup at home later this year. In the 2019 ODI World Cup, Ganguly counseled captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid to remain with the same side that has been doing so well lately, thoroughly trouncing Sri Lanka and New Zealand.
“India is never going to be a weak squad. A nation with this much skill can never have a poor squad. Only one-half of the players are given a chance. I want the selectors, Rahul Dravid, and Rohit Sharma to stick with the same squad during the World Cup “Tak was instructed by Ganguly.
The Indian squad has recently come under fire for playing a reserved game in ICC competitions. A squad that dominates most opponents in bilateral matches nonetheless turns to “safe” cricket and suffers against elite competition. Ganguly instructed Dravid and Rohit to play fearless cricket at the World Cup and not to worry about the outcome.
“They should play unburdened when they go to the World Cup. No matter whether they win the trophy or not, they should play brave cricket “declared the previous BCCI president.
The legendary opener praised India’s gifted players and urged them to give it their best. Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Ravindra Jadeja (who will return) are all on that squad, and they can’t lose, he said.
From the start of the IPL, Ganguly will serve as the director of cricket for Delhi Capitals. The squad has the firepower to win the championship, according to the former captain, but DC will miss the services of their normal skipper Rishabh Pant, who is recovering from various injuries sustained in a vehicle accident in December of last year.
“It’s simply one part after another, and I’m eager to do it. The Delhi Capitals squad has done rather well since I initially partnered with them in 2019. We shall feel Rishabh Pant’s absence. He is a quality cricketer from India, but his injury prevents us from doing anything “stated Ganguly.
