India’s ICC title drought can end with the help of Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid, says Sourav Ganguly

New Delhi: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly believes that Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid can play significant roles in ending India’s ICC title drought. India, despite being a formidable force in world cricket, has not won an ICC title in recent years, which has been disappointing for fans.

India’s campaign in ICC 2023 World Cup

India is set to kick off their campaign in the ICC 2023 World Cup against Australia, the five-time champions, in Chennai. The last time India won a World Cup was in 2011 under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It has been 10 years since India’s ICC title drought began.

Ganguly’s belief in Sharma and Dravid

Sourav Ganguly, the former BCCI president, believes that Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid can turn things around for India in the marquee event. Ganguly stated that both Sharma and Dravid have experience dealing with pressure and have a track record of success. Rohit Sharma has five centuries in the last ODI World Cup, while Rahul Dravid, as the head coach of the Indian team, understands the pressure to deliver results.

Ganguly’s faith in Rohit Sharma’s leadership

Ganguly has faith in Rohit Sharma’s leadership abilities, citing his successes as the captain of the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, where he has led the team to five titles. Ganguly hopes that Sharma can replicate his success and lead India to victory in the ICC 2023 World Cup.

Predictions for the tournament

Ganguly predicts that Australia, England, New Zealand, and India have strong chances of making it to the semi-finals. He also includes Pakistan in his list of contenders. However, Ganguly expresses his desire for an India-Pakistan semi-final, which he hopes will take place at the iconic Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata.

Concerns for West Indies cricket

Ganguly expresses his shock and concern over the West Indies’ failure to qualify for the ICC World Cup 2023. He believes that the West Indies Cricket Board needs to focus on improving the quality of their international cricket and retaining their talented players, who often opt to play T20 cricket around the world.

Conclusion

Sourav Ganguly’s belief in the abilities of Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid gives hope to Indian cricket fans, who are eager to see their team win an ICC title after a decade-long drought. With the ICC 2023 World Cup approaching, all eyes will be on India as they strive to break their title drought and bring glory to the nation.
