In their opening match of the tournament, the Men in Blue defeated rivals Pakistan by a mammoth 124 runs margin as per the D/L method in a rain-hit fixture at Edgbaston. During the second innings, while the Pakistan batsmen were struggling with the willow, Virender Sehwag had a faux pas while commentating from the box.

In response to Virat Kohli‘s’ statistics that were being shown on TV at that moment, Ganguly said that even he was very quick between wickets during his time. To this, Viru cracked up exclaiming that ‘Dada’ might have been quick but not as swift as Kohli.

Following that, Ganguly took it upon himself to prove Viru wrong and asked the producers to hand over his stats card. The ‘Prince of Calcutta’ also challenged Sehwag to a 100m sprint at the Oval after the final gets over. Ganguly added, “Tere liye do physio bhi denge.(I will give two extra physio to you for the race).” Sourav even accused Sehwag of tagging the previous generation of cricketers as slow in between wickets.

However, as soon as the stats card was handed over Ganguly pointed out that Sehwag had single’s percentage of 24% while Dada had 36%, tipping the scales to Dada’s side. An anguished Sourav Ganguly then stated, “Aap apnay statistics theek karain or Commentary Box mai aisi Kharab baatain na karain or interviews ma bhi (Please correct you statistics and speak sense both in the commentary box and in interviews.).”

As for the Indian team has been on a carnage in the tournament and would continue to the finals. India will be taking on Pakistan for the second time in CT 2017, having won the first battle comprehensively. The defending champs have illustrated an excellent form on their road to the finals. India are one of the favourites to win the tournament and have a great chance of defending their title if the team performs to their true potential.
