Sourav Ganguly on Rohit Sharma: The Indian team is just one win away from winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title. Today the Indian team and Africa will face each other in Barbados. Former Indian team captain Sourav Ganguly has given a statement about Rohit Sharma. At present, this is under discussion.
India has a chance to end 17 years of drought
The Indian team is on the verge of winning the T20 World Cup for the second time. India has not won a single ICC trophy since 2014. The team last won the Champions Trophy under Dhoni's captaincy 11 years ago in 2013. It is worth noting that the Indian team won the first T20 World Cup in 2007 under Dhoni's captaincy. That is, the team now has a chance to end the 17-year drought. Former Indian cricket team captain and legend Sourav Ganguly praised Rohit Sharma's captaincy and expressed hope that the team will become the T20 World Champion again.
Rohit will jump into the sea of Barbados: Sourav Ganguly
Apart from this, Ganguly has given such a statement about Rohit. Which is being discussed a lot. Sourav Ganguly said, 'Winning the World Cup brings more respect and I hope Rohit Sharma will do the same on Saturday, I don't think Rohit can lose another World Cup final in seven months. If he loses two finals under his captaincy in seven months, Barbados will probably jump into the sea.' Speaking further, Ganguly said that 'Rohit has led the team brilliantly in this World Cup and has batted brilliantly and I hope we will see something similar in the final as well.'
Under Rohit's captaincy, India reached the finals of ICC tournament three times
Notably, India has reached the finals of ICC tournaments thrice under Rohit Sharma's captaincy; however, the team suffered consecutive defeats against Australia in the 2023 World Test Championship and ODI World Cup. In his first tournament as Indian captain in the 2022 T20 World Cup, India lost to England in the semi-finals. Now the final to be played in Barbados could be Rohit's last chance to lead India to a title in this ICC format.
