Y cant Saurav play in finals? It was Sachin who was the main reason that India played 2003 finals. So Ganguly could have contributed atleast in finals....
So analyse the situation and speak. It was in the first over , everything was decided. 15 runs of first over and they managaed to score 360.
360 then was considered to be unchasable target. So Sachin had planned to hit everything , that was how he got out.
