Legendary Sourav Ganguly on Wednesday said the Under-19 squad would win the ICC World Cup beating Australia in the final. India, on Tuesday, defeated arch-rivals Pakistan by a whopping 203 runs to reach the final where they will meet Australia on Saturday.
“India will win the U-19 World Cup,” Ganguly told.
“Shubman Gill, (Kamlesh) Nagarkoti, (Shivam) Mavi, Ishan Porel they are exceptional talent,” he added.
“Indian cricket system is so good that the structure has been made and without sructure you cannot produce cricketers. These players are products of Indian cricket scructure. In the next five years, Indian cricket, save Australia and England, will be the best in the world,” added Ganguly, who was in New Zealand for the initial few matches of the World Cup.
“Our infrastrucsture and system is great. The madness for Indian Premier League is massive. They fill the stands and it’s madness. So the support of the people will take this sport forward,” he said.
“I hope they win under (chief coach) Rahul (Dravid). They won convincingly in every game. They beat Australia by more than 100 runs and hope they do it in the final also,” Ganguly added.
