Speaking at the Indian Racing League & F4 India Championship on Tuesday, Ganguly said he expected more from India\u2019s batting unit given their form earlier in the series. \u201cA little bit disappointed with the way India batted in this series; they should have gotten this 190,\u201d Ganguly said. \u201cWhen you saw Jadeja fight and score the runs, batting quality in this team, they will be more disappointed than I am because it was an opportunity to get 2-1 up in the series against England.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
