Board of Control for Cricket in India president Sourav Ganguly feels India's humiliating 10-wicket defeat to Australia in the opening One Day International in Mumbai was "one bad day in office" and team has the capability to bounce back in the next two games.

 

India's batting flopped as Australia surpassed a total of 255 easily, riding on hundreds from skipper Aaron Finch and the dashing David Warner.

“The next two one-dayers against Australia will be a cracker. This Indian team is a strong team; just had a bad day in office… been in this situation before and have come back to win from 2-0 down two seasons ago ..good luck," Ganguly tweeted.

India plays the second ODI in Rajkot on Friday, January 17.

The final game is in Bengaluru on Sunday, January 19.
