India will aim to end an 11-year ICC title drought on Saturday when they face South Africa in the T20 World Cup final. The Rohit Sharma-led team delivered a solid performance in the semi-final, defeating defending champions England by 68 runs to secure a title clash with the Proteas. Both teams reached the final unbeaten.

Under Rohit Sharma's captaincy, India has reached three ICC tournament finals, yet the team suffered consecutive defeats to Australia in the 2023 World Test Championship and the ODI World Cup. In his first tournament as India's captain at the 2022 T20 World Cup, India lost to England in the semi-finals. With the upcoming final in Barbados potentially being Rohit's last chance to lead India to an ICC title in this format, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly believes the 36-year-old will be eager to end the long wait.

"I don't think he can lose two World Cup finals in seven (six) months. He will probably jump into the Barbados ocean if he loses two finals under his captaincy in seven months,” said Ganguly.

“He has led from the front, batted brilliantly, and I hope it continues tomorrow. Hope India finishes on the right side, and they should play with freedom. They have been the best side of the competition. I wish them luck, I wish they win. Hope they have a little bit of luck tomorrow because that is required to win big tournaments," Ganguly added.
