Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has made a big prediction about the upcoming ODI World Cup to be held in India. In this mega event to be held in India from October 5, according to Ganguly, apart from host India, Australia and England teams can reach the semi-finals. Apart from this, Ganguly has mentioned New Zealand or Pakistan for the fourth team.
Sourav Ganguly has said in his statement to RevSports that India, England and Australia are my first choice to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. You couldn’t take the New Zealand team lightly in major events. In such a situation, I would consider 5 teams in my semi-final race. I would also like to include Pakistan in it.
Sourav Ganguly has further said that if Pakistan qualifies, Indian fans will be able to watch the semi-final match between the two teams at the Eden Gardens ground. Let us tell you that if Pakistan reaches the semi-finals, it will play its match in Kolkata.
According to former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, there will not be much mental pressure on the Indian players for this mega event as all are looking very strong. However, due to the tournament being held at home this time, they may definitely feel some pressure to perform.
Sourav Ganguly further said that the pressure is always on you. Even when he played, there was pressure on him. Rohit scored 5 centuries in the last ODI World Cup. I am sure, there will be pressure on them too. Pressure is not a problem. I am sure, he will find a way out of this. When Rahul Dravid was playing, there was pressure to perform. Now that he is the head coach, the pressure of the team’s performance will be on him. We sometimes do not perform well in important matches. I think it’s not mental pressure. All are very strong mentally and I am sure, this time we will do better.
