Sourav Ganguly warned Rahul Dravid; said, ‘When I see Rohit-Kohli’s wife…’
Sourav Ganguly said that India makes the mistake of creating too much pressure, which is often evident from the wives of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Sourav Ganguly (Photo Source: Twitter) Sourav Ganguly on Team India, Anushka Sharma, Ritika Sajdeh: The T20 World Cup 2024, jointly organized by the USA and West Indies, has started. The Indian team is also in the USA and has won a spectacular victory against Bangladesh in a practice match. Despite this, there is a lot of pressure on Team India to win the title. Team India became the champion in the first T20 World Cup held in 2007. Since then the wait for this title continues. On the other hand, if we talk about the ICC Trophy, then no title has been won since 2013. Before India’s first match of the T20 World Cup, Sourav Ganguly has given his reaction on the pressure of the team. Cricket is the most passionate sport for Indians and whenever the Indian team plays in the World Cup, emotions run high. Sourav Ganguly, one of India’s most successful captains, believes that Rahul Dravid and his team need to be more spontaneous to succeed in the T20 World Cup. According to the former captain, too much pressure will affect the team’s performance. What did Ganguly say about Anushka and Ritika? Speaking to Revsports, Sourav Ganguly said that India makes the mistake of creating too much pressure, which is often evident by looking at the wives of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. He said, “If I can say something to Rahul Dravid, it would be that the players should relax a bit. When I see Rohit’s wife (Ritika Sajdeh) in the stands, it is clear how much pressure he is under. When I see Virat’s wife (Anushka Sharma), I understand what kind of pressure she is feeling.” ‘Team India should play without any pressure’: Sourav Ganguly Former captain Sourav Ganguly said, “We make the mistake of putting too much pressure on India. For example, I think of the 2003 World Cup final. If anything, we have to play loose and relaxed when playing big matches. So Team India should play without any pressure. India reached the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, where it lost to Australia in the final.” Considered the reason for defeat in ODI World Cup Ganguly believes that if the team had remained a little calm in the title match, it might have performed better. He said, “Despite losing the final in the World Cup, I would say that India was the best team. We played excellent cricket during the tournament. But we could not remain calm in the final. This is what I wanted. So now in the T20 World Cup, we should play with confidence and not put too much pressure on ourselves.”
