It is absolutely disheartening to know that the Indian captain Sourav Ganguly is getting such harsh criticism about the recent loss to Pakistan in the Bangalore test. He along with the outgoing coach John Wright have shaped the present Indian Team to be some sort of threat to the mighty Australians. They have indeed put India on the worlds cricketing map and the fan now go to view a match with an expectations to see the Indian team win. This was not the case five years ago when the Indian team was branded as the unpredictable.

Ganguly is the man who leads a Team of champions and has indeed done very well. He single headedly has pulled the Indian team out of pits. His ability to take risks and his immaculate killer instinct has made the Indian Team as the only threat to the Australians. I for once can think of no one to replace Ganguly as the captain.

If I were to select the team, I would rather go with 5 specialist batsmen, 4 specialist bowlers, 1 specialist wicket keeper and 1 specialist captain and most certainly he the best that India has for the job. With 19 wins under his belt and having most of them as away wins, without doubt, he is the best captain the Indian Cricket has ever produced.

It will rather be nice if the fans in India and especially Bishan Singh Bedi, expressed some gratitude for what Ganguly has done for Cricket in India.
