London, June 18: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly backs under-fire skipper MS Dhoni and says the team and country should put behind the humiliation of the T20 World Championship and move on.
Ganguly, who is in London and will turn a new page when he sits behind the camera for ESPN, spoke to CNN-IBN’s associate cricket editor Nishant arora. While he backed Team India, he also said that fatigue can never be an excuse for the young lads in the team.
Sourav Ganguly: Just like any other Indian supporter, you feel bad that the team didn’t do well enough. These kinds of things happen in sports. This team has done very well in the last one, one and a half years. This tournament has been a bit of a poor show, but it happens in sport. I understand that. And it’s T20 and we should not swayed too much up or down with it because the real test of a cricketer is Test matches and the 50-over game. India has done well in Test matches and they will always judge this team on how they have done in Test matches, not in T20.
