What a team Sourav Ganguly built for India ! In 2011, 8 out of 11 players played under Ganguly's captainship ! If any captain deserved a world cup it would be Ganguly....

[@supratimbanik7960]

It's very rare for a sportsman to possess such a personality. He made us realise that Cricket was not just a game for fun and entertainment but it could also be a philosophy for life. A worthy man to be at the center surrounded by crores of fans.

[@HelloErth]

He is a great captain.. Handled the legends during his captaincy, and now the BCCI head. Great achievements indeed... Very matured speaker here, polished.. Wow

[@sudheer1789]

Regarding young talent, dada says "Grooming them, taking care of them and picking them at the right time". Absolutely spot on. So much clarity, calmness, composure and maturity he had while he himself being a youngster.

[@rahulkadam3602]

From 16:52 - till the end : If anyone has any doubt who was the better caption between Sourav and MSD, just listen to this part carefully.. Sourav had a shitty team who were used to loosing almost every game & those losses never hurt them.. No genuine fast bowler, no pace bowling culture, low self confidence, no killer instincts & lost every game in mind even before taking the field.. Then came Sourav & he changed everything without getting in the trouble with Senior Players, Coaches, Selectors or Board..

[@timetraveller3046]

No doubt Dada built the courage and hope in team and taught us in competing with the opponent by looking at their eyes. But I think Dhoni had his own challenges as well.It was period of transition when legends were at the final phase of career and at the same time youngsters need to be groomed.If he didn't have handled well,India may have faced a crisis some what similar to SL facing after their seniors retired.Dhoni had to handle superstars and super seniors and still need to keep the commanding voice .It was very heart warming how Dhoni paid tribute to his favourite Dada,by handing over captaincy on his retirement test.

[@primerspecial]

Right. MSD got a very good team with so many talented young players. Sourav had to work hard to get them in the team. But, Virat was not so lucky, as MSD failed to do what Sourav did. Current players do not know how to handle pressure situations. They do not have skills to play in difficult conditions and fall like pack of cards. We have not won single big tournament in last 7 years.

[@chiranjeevimohanty1996]

@@primerspecial so according to your statement.. Dada was also successful only because his previous captain built a team..?? Ur statement is useless stating msd is lucky and kohli is not ... Even dada's team needed few changes.. Other we would have won the 2007 wc as well... Dhoni had his own challenges... He had to bring in youngsters and he took seniors out of the odi squad which was very tough... He made india a brilliant fielding side... Talking about what he has given for the future.. India now is the strongest side in every format... It is just that we lost a match n lost the wc... He brought in kohli, rohit,Raina, bumrah, ashwin, jadeja, dhawan, bhuvi, shami, even gambhir was a regular during msd's captaincy.. So kohli is not that unlucky as u say..

[@AlluSrinivasu_1972]

"A Captain shouldn't be credited for a Win or shouldn't be blamed for a loss - It's all the team which contribute towards winning or loss' - Great words by Dada. Now a days, most of the captains all over the world except a few speak these words while they are losing but not at a time when they are winning.

Bro when zak and Ashis came they constantly bowled over 140..Sree was senior at that time.. Still after his retirement irfan came as a swing bowler,,not as a fast bowler.. In this era bowling has changed bcz of IPL.. At that time selection process was based only on domestic level performance..And as we all know sub contitent bowlers were not the fastest at that time bcz of the pitch was not effective..
