Sourav Ganguly News

Former India captain and current Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Sourav Ganguly has strongly backed Sanju Samson to become a regular feature in India’s white-ball teams. 

India will play five T20Is and three ODIs in England in July. The tour will be crucial for preparation for the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup, which will be played in South Africa. Sourav Ganguly feels that Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi should be part of the tour.  

Sourav Ganguly publicly questioned Pakistan’s logic, stressing that “every point is important” in a World Cup. A potential boycott could reshape Group A and set a rare precedent in ICC tournament history. Ganguly labelled India “favourites,” signalling confidence despite an uneven tournament start.

India has produced some of the most prolific run-scorers in cricket history. These players dominate across formats; Tests, ODIs and T20Is, and remain the pillars of India’s batting legacy.  

India opener Rohit Sharma holds the record for the most sixes in One Day International (ODI) cricket. The 38-year-old Rohit broke the long-standing six record set by Shahid Afridi during the first ODI between India and South Africa at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on Sunday.

Sourav Ganguly firmly dismissed talks of sacking Gautam Gambhir, insisting India’s focus must shift to preparing better, balanced Test pitches after the Eden Gardens defeat. India’s shocking 93-all-out collapse while chasing 124 against South Africa reignited concerns over recurring batting failures on turning tracks. Ganguly backed the Gambhir–Shubman Gill leadership duo, stressing patience, clearer planning, and a mindset change ahead of the Guwahati Test starting November 22.

Sourav Ganguly backs Mohammed Shami, insisting the veteran pacer is fully fit and deserves a place in India’s Test, ODI, and T20I squads. Shami shines in Ranji Trophy 2025, taking 15 wickets in three matches for Bengal, proving his form and fitness ahead of the India vs South Africa Test series. Selectors face criticism as Ganguly questions Ajit Agarkar-led panel for overlooking one of India’s most experienced and in-form fast bowlers.
