On Sunday, former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly endorsed the team's aggressive batting style in the T20 World Cup, urging top-order players like Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma to maintain their attacking approach, even on tricky surfaces. Ganguly's comments came during the Bharat Corporate Premier League (BCPL) Season 4.
