Former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly feels that India will comfortably qualify for the semifinals of ongoing T20 World Cup. India are currently placed at the second spot in Group 2 behind South Africa, they have won two matches out of three so far and will face Bangladesh and Zimbabwe next. Rohit Sharma and Co. have quality cricket in the tournament but the defeat against the Proteas put them in a tricky position for the semi-final race.
Ganguly is impressed with India’s performance so far and said he hopes they will make it to the final.
