Saurav Ganguly has proved himself as a captain since he won the One Day International Series against South Africa at home. His decisions like sending Parthiv Patel as an opener worked perfectly. He now has the maximum number of wins by a captain abroad and also at home. He has worked hard as a captain for the improvement of his team. His batting has declined a bit, but still he has played some vital innings. His off drives are brilliant and the lofted straight drives are just amazing.
He has now given India first test victory in Australia. He gave India first series victory in Pakistan in both forms of the game. He just made a team which was crawling in World One Day Rankings at 8th spot upto 2nd spot which is quite amazing. He has made the whole India proud by leading India to the World Cup Semi finals in South Africa 2003. He knows when and how to make bowling changes. He is an inspiration to the youngsters. Even Mohammed Azharuddin and Kapil Dev hasn’t been able to frame this much victories.
