BCCI President Sourav Ganguly says he is “obsessed” with Rishabh Pant’s game and says the Indian swordsman and batsman is “an outright winner of the match.”
The former India captain added that he loves watching players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma hit.
“There are some fantastic players and I think as Chairman of the Board I shouldn’t say who my favorite player is. They are all my favorites, but I enjoy Kohli, I enjoy Rohit Sharma, ”Ganguly said during an interactive session hosted by the online tutorial application Classplus.
“I am obsessed with Rishabh Pant because I think he is an outright winner of the match. Jasprit Bumrah is good, Mohammed Shami is good, I really like Shardul Thakur because he has the courage and the guts.
“There is an immense talent for cricket in India. When (Sunil) Gavaskar was there, people used to think what would happen after him, then came (Sachin) Tendulkar, (Rahul) Dravid, Anil Kumble. When Tendulkar, Dravid left, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant took over, ”he said.
“There is so much talent for cricket in India that I think it will produce world beaters in every generation.”
Ganguly, who was chosen for the 1992 Australia India tour but didn’t get a single game, recalled how that experience in Australia and the hard work that followed in the years that followed made him a better cricketer.
“I consider my 1992 series a failure. To be honest, I didn’t get a lot of opportunities to play and I came back from the Australian tour, but I was young, that (series) actually helped me become a better cricketer.
“I came back stronger mentally. I was not in better shape, I understood what international cricket was all about. I started training myself over a period of 3-4 years, not only physically, but also mentally on how to handle pressure, ”he recalled.
“My series in Australia in 1992 helped me become a better cricketer. When I went to England in 1996, it was much stronger. He knew what it takes to score runs internationally.
“I had another four years of domestic cricket under my belt, where I kept scoring runs. I think those four years were a blessing in disguise for me. Failures make you a better cricketer. “
Ganguly, who underwent two rounds of angioplasty at a Kolkata hospital in January after complaining of chest pain, said he is now healthy and healthy.
“I am absolutely fit and well and back to work, doing everything like I did before.”
