Rohit Sharma’s leadership abilities, according to former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly on Friday, were a major factor in India’s current T20 World Cup undefeated streak.

Sourav Ganguly, a former captain of India, stated on Friday that Rohit Sharma’s leadership abilities were a major factor in his country’s undefeated record in the T20 World Cup. He also urged the team to play freely against South Africa in the final to break their 11-year trophy drought. India will compete for their first global trophy since winning the Champions Trophy in 2013 when they take against the Proteas in the championship match in Bridgetown, Barbados. “I’m thrilled for Rohit Sharma.” Everything in life has a complete circle. After being chosen to represent Veedol as a brand ambassador, Ganguly stated, “Six months ago, he wasn’t even the captain of the Mumbai Indians, and the same player is now leading India to a World Cup final, unbeaten.

Prior to Virat Kohli stepping down as captain, Rohit was hesitant to assume the position, according to the former BCCI president.

In two World Cup finals that he has participated in, he entered the game undefeated. I’m not shocked because he assumed the captaincy and leadership role while I was the BCCI president, following Virat’s decision to step down as India’s captain.

The process of appointing him as captain was protracted since he was not prepared. He became captain after much coaxing from all of us, and I’m thrilled to see how Indian cricket has advanced under his leadership.” The length of the league, according to Ganguly, can make winning IPL crowns more difficult at times.

“It’s a tremendous accomplishment that Rohit has the record of winning five IPL titles. Some IPLs are harder to win than others. Be accurate; I’m not arguing that international cricket is inferior to the Indian Premier League.

“However, to win an IPL, you must win 16–17 (12–13) matches; to win a World Cup, you must win 8–9 matches. I hope Rohit wins the World Cup tomorrow because that would be more honorific. “In seven (six) months, I don’t think he can lose two World Cup finals. If he loses two finals while serving as captain in the next seven months, he will most likely dive into the waters off Barbados. He has batted superbly and led from the front, and I hope he keeps it up tomorrow. I hope India ends up on the right side, and they ought to be allowed to play freely.

“They have proven to be the more formidable opponent. I hope they succeed and wish them luck. I hope they have a little bit of luck tomorrow, as winning major tournaments requires that,” Ganguly continued.

After winning the Champions Trophy, India advanced to the finals of the World T20 Cup in 2014, the World 50-over Cup in 2023, and the World Tennis Championship twice, however they were all unsuccessful.

“My perspective is different. We can only win once we make it to the final, but at least we’re making it there,” he remarked.

“The good news is that India is staying in the game. Furthermore, they are in charge. Seven months ago, you watched the World Cup in India; they were the best team competing, even if they lost to Australia in the championship game.

“They were a better side than Australia right through the tournament; they just had one bad day,” he stated.

Thirty-two years after returning to international cricket, Ganguly said it’s a historic occasion for South African cricket to be in their first World Cup final.

“This is a historic occasion for South African cricket. Consider a squad that resumed playing cricket professionally in 1992 and waited 32 years to compete in the World Cup final. Thus, he stated, “Today will be significant for both sides.

Even though he bats first in this World Cup and is having a mediocre run, star batsman Virat Kohli feels he shouldn’t step down to No. 3.

“Virat ought to stay open. Seven months ago, he had a World Cup when he scored 700 runs. He is a person. It’s inevitable that he will occasionally make mistakes too.

“Individuals such as Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, and Virat Kohli are icons for Indian cricket. They are not less of a player after three or four games. Don’t discount him from the final tomorrow,” Ganguly continued.
