Ganguly hopes to lead India to World Cup title in 2007

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Three years into his stint as Indian cricket skipper, Sourav Ganguly on Tuesday said he was enjoying his role, and hoping to lead India to the title in the next World Cup in 2007.

"We would have loved to win the 2003 World Cup. But it was not to be, though we made it to the final. Now, we will give it a try in 2007," Ganguly said in Kolkata.

Ganguly said most of those doing national duty now, would in probability be around when India embark on their Caribbean trip for the next edition of the quadrennial showpiece.

"Considering the age of the current team members, I don't think many of them will miss the next World Cup," Ganguly told 'Aaj Tak' news channel.

Looking back at his captaincy record with satisfaction, Ganguly said, "I'm enjoying my stint as skipper. When I took over, most of these guys were very young. I think the selectors must be happy at the way the boys have come up".

Ganguly, however, admitted that at times the goings have been tough. "Sometimes it was hard. But then when you are at the helm of a national side, that's how things are bound to be".
