It was immature of Ravi Shastri to compare players of different eras: Sourav Ganguly

India’s head coach Ravi Shastri is not known to mince his words when it comes to talking in front of media and he did the same a couple of days ago. He was of the opinion that none of the previous Indian teams has enjoyed so much success overseas compared to the current one. This comment from him has come under the scanner and after Sunil Gavaskar, even Sourav Ganguly has taken a dig at him by calling ‘immature’ for comparing the players of different eras. Though Team India hasn’t been able to win their last couple of overseas series, they have managed to run the teams in their own den. Their inability to close the game in crunch situations has hurt them so far but India’s record away from home is improving nevertheless. Shastri also pointed out the same and said that this team has won nine matches in last three years which no other Indian team has managed to in last 15-20 years. “If you see the record of this team, India has won nine matches overseas in last three years. This is the run which none of the previous Indian teams has managed in last 15-20 years in which some of the greats were also present, he had said. Don’t take him seriously Sourav Ganguly laughed when asked about the same to him while speaking to India TV and went on to say that one shouldn’t take his comments seriously. He completely ignored it and hoped that Team India does well in the final Test match and end the tour on a high. “These are all immatured talks. You don’t take him seriously. Nobody knows what and when he will say anything. I wouldn’t like to talk much on this and only hope that it is a last Test and India plays well. There should be no comparison between different generations. All of them played for India only and all the 15 players give their best on the ground. We support them and hope that Virat Kohli and Co. plays well and win the match for India,” he said. The final Test between England and India will commence on Friday at the Kennington Oval in London.
