Sourav Ganguly, prince of Kolkata and former Indian cricket captain, said he is confident that the announced Indian squad would win the ICC Cricket World Cup second time for India.Talking to media here on Thursday, Ganguly said that seeing the performance of Indian players at home ground, a victory in the World Cup could be highly expected.
"I am very hopeful. India is a very strong One Day International (ODI) team and they are playing it at home. If they can handle the pressure of the people at home, they'll be at the side who can win the World Cup," said Ganguly.
He further commented that the team India performance in the first test against South Africa was disappointing but he was positive of the second test in Durban.
Ganguly was hopeful that India Will bounce back strongly, "Nobody wants to lose, am sure none of us, none of the players, or the team, or the supporters would be happy with the loss. But it can happen. You can win some game, you can lose some game, and I am sure they will bounce back in the next tour... obviously toss will be important."
The Cricket World Cup is scheduled to take place in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, beginning from February 19, 2011.
