Even though Sourav Ganguly immediately corrected himself, the video of him mistakenly referring the interviewer as Virat Kohli went viral on social media.

Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly, who recently made headlines with his bizarre 'winning IPL trophy more difficult than World Cup' remark, mistakenly referred to a TV anchor as Virat Kohli during an interview. Even though Ganguly immediately corrected himself, the video of him mistakenly referring the interviewer as Virat went viral on social media. This is the same interview during which former BCCI boss defended Rohit Sharma following team India's WTC 2023 Final debacle. While mentioning Rohit's 5 IPL title wins, Ganguly asserted he has full faith in the senior batter.

"I have full faith in Rohit. He and MS Dhoni have won 5 IPL titles. Winning the IPL isn't easy because it's a tough tournament. Winning the IPL is more difficult than winning a World Cup as there are 14 matches after which you take part in the playoffs. In the World Cup, it takes only 4-5 matches for a place in the semis. In the IPL, it takes 17 matches for you to become champions," Ganguly told Aaj Tak after the World Test Championship final.

Every year before the start of IPL tournament, Royal Challengers Bangalore are of one of the fan-favorites and top contenders for a title win, however, somehow the franchise loses momentum and as a result, they are one of the few teams who are yet to win their maiden IPL trophy. Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings are the three teams which haven't been able to secure a title win even after playing in 15 seasons. Lucknow Super Giants, who made their IPL debut in IPL 2022, are also on this list.
