Kolkata: Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president post nominee and former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Tuesday said that the Indian team has to win big tournaments. "India's performance is satisfactory. I think it is a very good side. My only concern is that they need to win big tournaments. I'm not saying they are going to win every time. It is not possible," Ganguly told reporters after the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) facilitated him for filing BCCI president post nomination.

"But they have gone through seven big tournaments without winning one, they are a much better side than that. That is the only area where they need to get themselves ready mentally," he added. This year, India faced a semifinal exit from the ICC World Cup after losing to New Zealand. In the ICC T20 World Cup as well, India lost in the semifinal to West Indies in 2016. Whereas in ICC Champions Trophy, India lost the final against Pakistan by 180 runs in 2017.
