"Bazball is good, but it’s difficult for England to be successful in Indian conditions"- Sourav Ganguly
Sourav Ganguly recently reviewed the ongoing Test series between India and England during an interaction with Mid Day. He reckoned that it would be a surprise if India lost the series and pointed out that England have found life difficult even when players like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are not playing for the hosts.
Ganguly said:
"Bazball is good, but it’s difficult for England to be successful in Indian conditions. I will be surprised if India lose the series. Please remember that India are playing without Virat [Kohli], KL [Rahul]. It’s a young team with many new faces, and yet, England are struggling."
On the performances of Indian youngsters, he added:
"Jaiswal is not only a good player, he’s capable of playing all in formats of the game. Sarfaraz has started well. He now has to score in foreign countries. Sarfaraz is a good example for budding cricketers, who must keep in mind that if they score consistently, they will get their chances."
