Ganguly said on Tuesday, “This is very early. There are many desires, but reality is different. Do you want to be a coach? Let’s see, don’t know,” Ganguly said on Tuesday.In his beginning as Captain, Gill has scored 585 runs at an average of 146.25, including three centuries. His scores of 269 and 161 set several records in Birmingham, including the highest match aggregation by an Indian batsman.Gill is coming near the 88 -year -old record of Don Bradman’s Don Bradman’s highest run as captain in a test series. Bradman scored 810 runs in five tests during the 1936–37 Ashes, average 90 with three centuries. Gill needs 225 more runs to cross this mark.“This is unprecedented. I hope his career will take a new direction. And I am confident that he is a middle-order batsman. He has just become captain, this is a honeymoon period. But there will be more pressure over time. The pressure will be in the next three tests. ,

Ganguly insisted on the importance of starting afresh at Lord’s despite India’s recent victory.“This is just one. There is still a lot to play with three matches. India played well, and play well. They might have lost in Headingley but they played well. But then, you have to start from scratch in the next match (Lords). ,The new generation led by Gill has compensated the absence of veteran Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and R Ashwin.Ganguly suggests that India will benefit from a vibrant pitch at Lord’s.“If this is a vibrant pitch then it will be the benefit of India. Because our batsmen will score runs and we will be in a position to take 20 wickets. I have said earlier – if you give grass and life on the wicket, we can take 20 wickets. ,“Last week it was very hot in England, so it is flat. But it has to go a long way.”Regarding the bowling lineup for Lords, Ganguly offered his perspective.“If the surface is brown, Kuldeep has to play 100 percent. It depends on the surface. If it is green, you may have four pacers. If Kuldeep comes in, it may be either Nitish (Kumar Reddy) or Vashi (Washington beautiful) location.”Akash Deep claimed ten wickets in the match, while in place of Jasprit Bumrah, which was restored. The team also missed Mohammed Shami due to injury.Both Shami and Akash Deep developed their careers through the domestic cricket system of Bengal, despite their origin in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar respectively.

Addressing the debate about non-Bengali players representing Bengal, Ganguly admitted their dedication.“This is his hard work. They have come here, have worked hard and have come up with the support of the cab so far. You have to give credit. ,Ganguly celebrated his 53rd birthday with a cake-cutting ceremony in Dubai while returning from England.Born on 8 July 1972, Ganguly is recognized as one of the most influential leaders of Indian cricket. He is credited with the team’s reconstruction and establishing India’s success in foreign competitions after the match -fixing scam.Ganguly’s career figures include 7,212 Test runs over 16 centuries between 1996 and 2008. In Odis, he remains India’s third largest run-scorer with 11,363 runs and 22 centuries.
