Sourav Ganguly Praises KL Rahul, Says – He Is Match Winner

Sourav Ganguly praises KL Rahul, says – the ability to be a match-winner in all three formats. Cricket Board of India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly has praised KL Rahul a lot.

He said that this player has a lot of time to set foot in Test cricket. This player has the potential to become a match-winning player in all three formats of cricket.

Rahul, who captained Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in IPL 2020, is the highest run-scorer of the season so far. The former captain of Team India is also impressed by his captaincy and believes that this Karnataka player is made for Test cricket.

In an India Today program, Ganguly said, ‘I am saying as a cricketer that there is a lot of time for Rahul in Test cricket. However, who will or will not be on the team? It is for the selectors to decide.

Most of Rahul’s big innings in the IPL could not win Kings XI Punjab, but Ganguly hoped that his innings for Team India would be useful in winning matches.

Ganguly said about this, ‘I think he is a player who will contribute in all formats. I congratulate them. He is expected to contribute to India’s victory. This is quite important.

Ganguly emphasized the fact that the Virat Kohli-led team needs to do better in the Army (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) countries.

Ganguly said, ‘Virat should understand that he has to do better outside India.

The team had done the series against Australia in 2018-19, but they should have done better in South Africa, England in the year 2018, and New Zealand in the year 2020.

All will have to bat well.

Ganguly further said, ‘We lost in England as none other than Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara could score a century in the Test.

He said that we won in Australia as Pujara scored 500 runs, Virat and Pant scored centuries. This is how you win the series. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon are good bowlers.
