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.”
‘I am in favor of impact players’ Sourav Ganguly’s big statement came out regarding Impact Player rule
IPL 2024 was the second season in which this rule was used consecutively Sourav Ganguly (Photo Source: Twitter) The impact player rule being used in the IPL has changed the landscape of cricket.

Sourav Ganguly gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while talking to the media in a program organized by Blue Ocean Corporation, Sourav Ganguly said- I like the impact player rule. This (IPL) is a great tournament. With an impact player you can only decide before the toss, so there is a bit of skill involved. Let the impact player know beforehand as it will require a lot of skill and game plan, but I am totally in favour of the impact player. From this statement given by Ganguly, you can guess that he seems to be advocating the Impact Player rule which has been used in IPL for the last two years. Also, after the introduction of this rule, former Indian captain Virat Kohli had said that it seems that this game is now only for the batsmen. Bowlers feel that every ball bowled by them can result in a boundary.
“Needless to say that he is a great player, but…”- Sourav Ganguly said about Virat
Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former captain Sourav Ganguly believes that if India has to do well in the T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli will have to bat with freedom like he did for his franchise RCB in the IPL. Kohli was the highest run-scorer in IPL 2024 and he gave a befitting reply to his trolls by showing aggressive play in the middle overs. Ganguly also advised that he should open the innings with captain Rohit Sharma. His strike rate was also the best in his IPL career this season. The RCB star batsman scored 741 runs in 15 matches. His average was 61.75 and strike rate was 154.70. Ganguly has said that if Team India has to do well in the T20 World Cup, then Virat Kohli will have to play with complete freedom. I want Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to open for Team India- Sourav Ganguly During a conversation on RevSportz, Sourav Ganguly said, “I would like Virat and Rohit to open together. I want Virat to bat the same way he did for RCB in the second half of the IPL. He has to bat with freedom. Needless to say, he is a great player, but for India to do well, Virat has to bat with freedom like in the IPL. So my choice would be Virat and Rohit in the top order.” Let us tell you that Team India will start its T20 World Cup campaign from June 5, when the team will play its first match against Ireland. The match between India and Pakistan is to be held on June 9. Ganguly said about the team, “The team has many great players and they are entering the tournament on the basis of some serious T20 cricket in the form of IPL. This will help them in New York. Another thing in their favour will be that their grounds are big and this will help our spinners. You can never rule out India in the World Cup, because there are so many great players in the team.
