Sourav Ganguly wants team India to be fearless in South Africa

Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly has recently shared some words of wisdom for team India and their captain Virat Kohli. India is all set to tour South Africa for a full tour after the conclusion of the T20I series against Sri Lanka. The first Test of the South Africa series will commence on January 5. Team India has been in a rampaging form in the recent times.

However, most pundits believe that it will be the overseas tours that would determine India’s supremacy in the world cricket. As per the recent quotes in the IBTimes, Sourav Ganguly mentioned that the Indian team should play fearless cricket. He advised the Indian team to take the risks on the tour. He conceded that the current Indian team is well equipped this time around and this is the best possible combination they could have asked for.

Recently, even former South African skipper Graeme Smith had commented that the Indian top order is better prepared than ever before ahead of the big tour. And now, the comments by Ganguly will only bolster the spirits of the Indian team.

“Just be fearless and take the risks. I think we have the right team. We will lose some, but I am sure we will win the most,” tipped Sourav Ganguly.

On Kohli’s captaincy

Speaking further on the same lines, Sourav had his comments reserved for the captaincy style of Virat Kohli. Under Kohli’s leadership, team India has had an unbeaten run this year in the ODI bilateral affairs. Also, India has not dropped a Test series ever since Kohli has assumed captaincy. Commenting on this, Ganguly appreciated the way Kohli takes care of his players and reads the game.

“Apart from his understanding of the game, I think the way he handles his players is simply superb,” said Ganguly when asked to comment on Virat Kohli’s captaincy.
