Ganguly backs http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 to do well in the World T20 – Cricket News Update
Former India skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
Speaking to media on the sidelines of an event to highlight ESPN Star Sports’ broadcast plans during the esteemed tournament, Ganguly said that the Indian team has got some big hitters in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737, and that
gives them an edge over the rest of the teams participating in the global event.
“We have seen in IPL also that we have some of the cleanest hitters in the game. The ability to consistently clear the boundaries will be a factor,” said the former Indian batsman, who is the part of the ESPN STAR Sports commentary panel for the World Cup.
"Also they will be playing in familiar sub-continental conditions. In the last two World T20 Championships, the short ball was a factor as it was flying above the head. But here, even if a bowler digs in short, it will at the most come at waist height which
is comfortable for Indian batsmen," he added further.

Ganguly, the veteran of 113 Tests and 311 ODIs, also tipped England and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 as the teams to watch out in the marquee tournament.
The former Indian skipper also batted for the out of favour off-spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453, saying that the turbanator is one bowler who should be playing in all the three formats of game.
Bhajji, who has not played for India since August last year, earned a recall into the national setup after being named in the squad for next month’s World T20 in Sri Lanka. However, he has been once again overlooked for the Test duty, the ongoing two-match
series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754.
