Sourav Ganguly showed us the way to move forward without fear: Sreesanth

Former India captain and President of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), Sourav Ganguly, congratulated Team India after their title-winning campaign at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, praising the side for steadily improving their performance as the tournament progressed.

Samson had a redemption story to remember, as he went from not being a part of the playing eleven in the start and having a frustratingly inconsistent form, he went on to play three of the most important innings of his career when it mattered the most, producing gems right from the virtual quarterfinal to the title clash against New Zealand. Tharoor also wished Samson for a new beginning in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), a franchise he was traded to after years of association with Rajasthan Royals.

While Men in Blue and their fans could get flashbacks of the Ahmedabad heartbreak against Australia, which stopped India's dominant 10-match win streak courtesy tactical masterclass of skipper Pat Cummins and a brutal hammering by Travis Head, the baggage of negativity will come down and everyone will find some comfort in team's most recent wins against New Zealand and the fact their country is on a winning run across the men's, women's and age-group cricket. The baggage will feel a little lighter.

Former Indian cricket team captain and current president of the Cricket Association Of Bengal (CAB), Sourav Ganguly, called Sanju Samson's match-winning 97*-run innings "outstanding" and hailed him as a "very good player" after the wicket-keeper batter helped Team India reach the semis of the T20 World Cup 2026 by defeating West Indies in a must-win Super 8s clash.

Former Indian skipper and Bengal Cricket Association president Sourav Ganguly believes that the India vs West Indies fixture in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup will be a great game, given the good ground and facilities at Eden Gardens.
