India can win ICC events – Sourav Ganguly

“India being such a good side, they have lost in the semis in the last two-three tournaments. I don’t think anybody can do anything except the players. It’s a mental thing. If you get to the semis, you need to go past it,” Ganguly said on Sunday.

Speaking further on the same, Sourav Ganguly is hopeful that this side which has players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah can take the team all the way at some point of time. He also sounded confident that this Team India will win ICC trophies and promised to provide all the facilities needed to develop the team. India will be eyeing the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in Australia next year.

“I am sure Virat (Kohli), Rohit (Sharma) and other players will hopefully do it at one stage. We can support them. In my playing days, I could bat and get India to a final. But none of us can do it now. We can only help. We can give them what they want — can give them facilities, but I am sure this team will get past,” Ganguly concluded.
