Former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly suggested that there should not be any discussion regarding India’s performance in the 2021 T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli and Co. had a forgettable campaign in the UAE edition of T20 WC as they failed to enter the semifinals after suffering defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand in Super 12 stage. However, several things including the captain, coach and approach, changed in the Indian team after that tournament.
Rohit Sharma will start their 2022 T20 WC campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan as they will seek to take revenge for last year’s defeat.
“What happened before, there is no point discussing that. India will be one of the favourites to win the tournament. In World Cup the fight is completely different,” Ganguly told India Today.
The former India captain said that consistently will be the key for any team to lift the trophy in an event like World Cup.
“Those teams who will play well in those two-three weeks will make the mark,” Ganguly said.
While he said that India have big hitters in the line-up who can take on any bowling attack in the world.
“Look, it’s hard to say before but we have a good side. Big hitters are there. In T20 format form is very crucial in those hours,” Ganguly said.
“I will choose India, South Africa, Australia, and England. South Africa is a good bowling side and that will be a factor in Australia,” the former India captain concluded.
