Rohit Sharma will score a double ton in T20s: Sourav Ganguly

At times, it would seem as though Rohit Sharma makes a mockery out of the records that have been set by his predecessors. The 30-year old is the only person on the plant to boast of three double centuries to his name in One-Day international cricket. However, when it comes to T20 cricket, Sharma seemingly does not boast of the records he would like.

Sourav Ganguly, India’s charismatic captain of yesteryear has, however, quashed the claims of the same statement that it would only be a matter of time before the 30-year old Mumbai Indians skipper has a double hundred to his name in T20 cricket as well. Speaking about the same, Ganguly said that it was all about handling yourself properly in difficult situations and compared it with Sachin Tendulkar.

“A big part of success in cricket, in any sport is how you handle your failures and tough situations. What happened during those days in Indian cricket was unfortunate but after losing my place in the team, I worked really hard to make a comeback. And when I finally made a comeback, I was much stronger mentally. I batted well in the last four years of my career and in fact, Sachin always says that those four years were the best period of my life as a batsman,” the 46-year-old said.

“Sachin scored first hundred in ODI and taking inspiration from him, Rohit has gone on to score three double centuries in ODIs. The day is not far when we will see him scoring the first double century in T20s too,” the former Indian skipper said.

‘Smith is a good human being’

Ganguly also went ahead and opened up about the Ball-Tampering incident and batted for tarnished former Aussie skipper Steve Smith, stating that the latter is indeed a good human being and what happened to him was unfortunate, to say the least.

“Smith is a good human being. Of course, what happened is unfortunate but I’m sure he will make a comeback to Australian side and we will see him play again. I feel sympathy for him.”
