The Indian cricket team is set to face off against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 final, taking place in Barbados on Saturday. This will be India’s second World Cup appearance in just eight months, following their loss to Australia in the 2023 Cricket World Cup final. Despite this setback, India remains determined to secure an ICC title and has another opportunity to do so against the Proteas.

Ganguly praised Sharma’s leadership qualities and success in leading the team to two consecutive World Cup finals. He also acknowledged the challenges of winning IPL titles compared to international cricket, highlighting the importance of claiming a World Cup victory.
Ganguly expressed confidence in Sharma’s abilities and encouraged the team to play with freedom and confidence as they pursue their goal of winning the World Cup title. He commended their performance throughout the competition and wished them luck for the decisive match. Ganguly emphasized that luck plays a significant role in major tournaments and urged India to stay focused and play at their best if they want to come out on top.
