On T20 World Cup Favouritism Charge Sourav Ganguly’s Blunt Reply
Both India and South Africa are ready to face each other in the final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday in Barbados. In the entire series, both teams remained unbeaten and are now aiming for another dominating show in order to win the trophy of the T20 World Cup. South Africa will be playing their first-ever T20 World Cup final, while Rohit Sharma-led India aim to end their 11-year-old ICC title drought. As both teams are getting ready for the summit clash, some former cricketers and experts also shared their views regarding the two finalists.
Former England cricket team captain Michael Vaughan has been critical of the ICC, accusing it of favoring India with a spin-friendly venue in the World Cup semifinal at Guyana.
On being asked about the statement of Vaughan, former India captain Sourav Ganguly dismissed such claims and called India a "dominating force.".
Ganguly, after being roped in as the brand ambassador of Veedol, said, "Michael Vaughan is a very dear friend of mine. I don't know how the ICC helps India win cricket matches by keeping the broadcast at 8 p.m. IST in the evening. I don't know how broadcasting wins you cricket matches. You still have to play in the middle and win. Secondly, I don't know why Guyana is thought to be a venue for winning when they have gone around and won everywhere.”
