The BCCI President and former India captain Sourav Ganguly has recently revealed the reason why the current pool of players like Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya are fearless in their approach. He also said that there are a few also who even before don the international jersey, look prepare to take on any team as well.
“I think for the modern-day generation exposure has been enormous. It helps them to become fearless because they realise that things are available at their doorsteps. And if they make an effort and are desperate to succeed, they will be successful. So they’re fearless,” Ganguly said during a conversation with Hero Vired Founder and CEO Akshay Munjal in a YouTube live show titled ‘You The Future’.
However, the left-handed batsman specifically mentioned Pant and Pandya. While Pant has been going through a purple patch with both abt and ball, Pandya is no less as he is too in good form with his all-round skill.
“You look at this current Indian cricket team. The likes of Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and some of the young fast bowlers who have come at this level, you just see that when they walk out into the International arena, they’re ready. “They’re not just ready skill-wise, but they’re ready mentally also which is very very important,” Ganguly said.

He said that it’s okay to be nervous sometimes as it helps one to be a better cricketer. Ganguly again shared that a good leader takes decisions on the spot only.
“With everyday you learn, you adapt. It’s the same thing with administration, you adjust, you learn, you share, and most importantly, you require the ability to take decisions because decision-making is important. “It may not be right all the time. But if you have faith, and if you believe that you’re capable of doing things, the majority of your decisions will be right,” Sourav Ganguly concluded.
