Ganguly still brooding over loss in World Cup final
17.04 IST   01st Apr 2003

By IndiaExpress Bureau

India’s cricket captain Sourav Ganguly is yet to get over the loss in the World Cup final against Australia.

“Losing the final has taken the glory away from the team’s good performance in the tournament,” Ganguly said at a function in Kolkata.

“They (Australia) are the best, but it does not mean we should have lost to them.”

India lost only twice in the entire tournament, both to Australia, first in the preliminary league and then in the final on March 23.

The cricket-crazy nation went into a sulk over the team’s loss. And Ganguly drew criticism for his decision to field first after winning the toss.

The only silver lining was that the Indian team had impressed the entire cricketing world by its performance in the tournament, which included a six-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan in the first round.

“The way the team played, the whole country is proud. I am sure we can win the World Cup in 2007 in the West Indies,” the Indian captain said.

“It’s a young side with nine players having played the World Cup for the first time. With the experience, we are now better placed to win in 2007.”
