In The Telegraph, Lokendra Pratap Sahi interviews former Team India cricket captain Sourav Ganguly in Colombo on Ajantha Mendis, India’s chances in the Test series and his own plans for retirement
Q You were the MoM in the last Test we played (versus South Africa, in Kanpur)… That must be a source of strength in the lead-up to the newest series…
A Yes, but not just that Test against South Africa… I draw strength from my performances in Test cricket since my comeback at the Wanderers in December 2006 (1,571 runs at an average of 50-plus). Hopefully, I can carry on in the same manner.
Q Having been away from international cricket for some months (not getting to play a role in the tri-series in Bangladesh and the Asia Cup in Pakistan), it’s a comeback of sorts for you in the Team India environment. Does it take time to adjust?
It’s not a comeback of sorts… I don’t see it that way… But, yes, I’ve not been a part of the one-day team this year… That’s the reality.
