Sourav Ganguly
ICC ODI Final: Team India is set to play the final of another ICC tournament. The final of the Champions Trophy will be played between India and New Zealand at Dubai International Stadium on 9 March. At this time, both teams are busy preparing their own. Apart from the game in the finals of any tournament, the strategy also matters a lot so that the opposing team can be granted. Meanwhile, let us tell you a special thing. The Indian team has played many finals in their cricket history. But if we talk about the ICC ODI tournament final, then till now only one Indian batsman has been able to score a century. This record was made about 25 years ago, but no one has been able to break it since then. Will it be quite interesting to see this time it will be destroyed.
Sourav Ganguly scored a century in the year 2000 Champions Trophy final
In 2000, Team India reached the final of the Champions Trophy. The team was then commanded by Sourav Ganguly. In this match played between India and New Zealand, captain Sourav Ganguly scored a brilliant 117 runs on 130 balls. However, Chris Carns also played an excellent innings of 102 runs from the front i.e. New Zealand and won his team. New Zealand won the expectations of Team India’s Champions Trophy by winning this match by four wickets. Now there is the Champions Trophy again and the same New Zealand team in front.
MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir played 90 plus runs in the 2011 ODI World Cup final
Since 2000, no Indian player has been able to score a century in the final of the ICC ODI tournament. In 2011, when India won the Finals of the ODI World Cup by defeating Sri Lanka, Gautam Gambhir definitely scored 97 runs in that match, but he was also dismissed before completing the century. In the same match, the then captain MS Dhoni had scored 91 runs, but before his century could be completed, Team India had won the match. In this way, they also missed out on completing the century. Apart from these, no batsman has reached a century, even in 90s.
So far, two Indians have scored centuries in this year’s Champions Trophy
The matches played in Pakistan in this Champions Trophy scored a lot of centuries, but the pitch in Dubai is not such that there are more runs. This year’s Champions Trophy has scored only two centuries from India. The first century was scored by Shubman Gill, after which Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten century against Pakistan. Now it will be seen that when Team India lands again in the Champions Trophy ground, will Team India have a century and Sourav Ganguly’s 25 -year -old record will be destroyed or will it be unwavering like this.
