New Delhi: The Indian batting line-up may seem to be heavily reliant on Virat Kohli, but former India captain Sourav Ganguly feels that the team has more than one player to depend on as far as one-day cricket is concerned.
“In One-day Internationals, there are a lot of match winners. Rohit Sharma is one, his 100 in Melbourne (Second ODI of the tri-series against Australia) was remarkable,” said Ganguly. He also insisted that the defending champions have got a very good chance of going all the way in this edition of the World Cup. “Yeah, I do give them a chance. In one-day cricket, I always give India a chance and with the format, we just have to get to the quarterfinals and then three games…anybody’s game,” Ganguly told ‘Headlines Today’.
Stating that the key to India’s success will be to “remain fresh”, Ganguly said, “It’s been a long tour…four Tests in Australia where you’ve been battered, you been hit hard.
Asked about India’s death bowling, which has been a serious concern, the 42-year-old said: “To be honest, at the moment it is only one Mohammad Shami, who I think is a very good death bowler. I expect a lot from Umesh Yadav. I think he is an under achieved, he is lot better bowler than that. (PTI)
