I Hope India will play finals of the T20 WC: Sourav Ganguly

Team India suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of the Proteas in their third game of the Super 12 stage, breaking their winning streak in the T20 World Cup. While several experts have questioned the Indian top order after their failure on a spicy surface in Perth, former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly backed Rohit Sharma’s men to make it through to the semis and hoped that they make it to the final of the tournament in Australia.

Sourav Ganguly stepped down from his role as BCCI president after his tenure ended last month. Ganguly, who led India to the 2003 World Cup final, backed the Indian team to make the finals of this year’s T20 World Cup, suggesting that the team has lost just one game and are in a good state with everyone performing well.

“India only lost one match. India will qualify. Everyone is doing good. India will qualify, I hope. I am hopeful that India will play finals. Let them qualify, and after that they will play last two games. That can be anyone’s game,” the former BCCI president said speaking at the Cricket Association of Bengal’s Annual General Meeting on Monday.
