Those who did not see the era of Ganguly should not comment anything. There was the time when players became scare to give a drive to take catches. He is the man who taught the Indian team what is attitude of Cricket, After Ganguly India got a well organised team. Go and watch first few matches of that time then come and criticise him.
@@avijitmitra56because he gave his batting number to Sehwag Tendulkar first the Laxman & Dhoni & No 04 is not suitable for sourav Ganguly's batting technique. All he did for the team not himself. First understand cricket then comment.
Aggressive cricket in Indian team started after Ganguly became the skipper. If Ganguly had current quality of India fast bowlers and allrounders that time ,he would have won several tournaments.
Well if he is finishing cricket and focusing more on ipl ofc people are gonna be angry from the day he has come our team has not been stable. We aren't questioning or doubting his ability or his playing days.
@@syedkamran8768 focusing more on ipl what u said he just increased ipl windows to 2.5 month and it's legalised in 2025 what u said you have no Idea ipl is our brand and whole world know it and try to copy it so be proud on it , and bro last 1 decades India have not won any icc trophy everyone know this ,and the main problem is virat is not in from since 2019 im am virat fan bro but that's doesn't mean that i hate sourav he is a legend who build indian team , and know how to won trophy ,and virat is frustrated by him form , and u said about unstable indian team ha ha ha bro just look at the no how many options indian team have now and the win percentage and everything is going to this way then india definitely won icc trophy so be understand cricket indian cricket in safe hands , the man who build indian team when no one believe in indian team ।
@@piyushrajak18 abey gawaar first listen here ganguly first of all never won a tournament except the shared one in 2002. We have no stability and players are getting injured under virat kohli and shastri it never used to happen like this now bcci has gone easy on it. Did I ever question his playing days? No right. Every month are captains are changing there is literally no stability kohli used to play every series and rarely missed any series and never missed a series because of injuries and don't tell me the bio bubble shit that's over in most of the countries. From the day ganguly has come he has only done 1 thing good introduction of pink ball test that's all. He has only focused on ipl nothing else this guy started all the politics there was no need of sacking kohli in odi even if they didn't want him they could have done it in more respectful way and when kohli told in press conference before leaving sa that he was available for the odi series against sa even though there were some reports of him resting ganguly got angry and irritated and wanted to send notice. Tell me any other so bad bcci chairman before. Btw kohli lost his actual form in 2021. 2020 he still did well but no 100s and India played less matches because of covid. 2019 he still had 5 or 6 hundreds and had a good wc he didn't had a 100 because the opening was so good that in many matches he came at 30th over or 27th 28th over. See before you talk.
nobody else in that team been such deep in oceans as Ganguli. He is one of the few indian players i really like. He teach indians to never give up. if i was a cricket player i would have him as my captain anyday of the week
The way dada picked the playing 11 and prepared the team from the early 00's it was very crucial for India's Wc dream and I think the 2003 Wc the most beautiful moment for Indian cricketing history they reached the Wc final last time overseas but never manage to get through the semis overseas after that so yeah u can easily judge the legacy of dada dhoni won the Wc in 2011 while in the subcontinent that was also great but reaching as a finalists in 2003 is surely one thing that every Indian surely feels goosebumps
This was the time when everything was so tasteful & interesting to watch in world cricket - subah 5 baje uthh jaate the match dekhne but today's cricket is not such that class !
Dhoni kaha se aa gya comparison main dada ke Aisa captain jisne koi performance nahi di bus credit leta gaya Ek century tak nahi hai test main foreign main.
MS Dhoni is the best white-ball captain India has ever had although he was not a good Test captain. It will be interesting to see how Rohit Sharma's captaincy career pans out in the next few years. I get a feeling that under Rohit, India could win a few ICC tournaments.
Dhoni 8/10 in test cricket??? Dhoni made us loss a test series at home in 2012, never won a single test match in australia. Bich me se bhag gaya tha Australia tour pe aur virat ko captaincy de di test ki, log bol rahe the kharab team he isiliye dhoni nahi jeetta australia me ek bhi match, usi same team ke sath kohli ke under jeete the tab kafi andho ki aankh khuli 😂🤣🤣
Best ever Indian captain. Changed everything in Indian cricket and every positive thing we see today in Indian cricket is a byproduct of his greatness and vision.
I rate this innings by Ganguly is one of the top 3 innings which changed the Indian cricket, other 2 were by Laxman and David in 2001 Kolkata Test against the same Aussi side (probably the greatest Test cricket team ever played other than WI-85). Just pure respect to his leadership, the way he formed that winning team from the dark days of match-fixing, cricket associations infighting... places him among modern India's one of the finest leaders in any sphere. I often wonder why we love Dada so much -- because he gave the courage to that generation of Indians that we can win, to look in the eyes of West and give them back right on the spot. He was a fair man, believed in performance not politics. How can you not love such a captain!
Sourav Ganguly aka Dada was indeed Captain Courageous ! His Captaincy Tenure was indeed special for Indian Cricket, and it laid the foundation for the modern Indian Cricket Team...Dada's Captaincy Era was Special and the Legacy it left, had amazing benefits for Team India 🇮🇳 in International Cricket
Dada created a legacy with bringing in youth and making they play with aggression. BTW those cover drives and down the pitch to hit six off spinners were just absolute treat for eyes..

A good left hander, not the greatest! That's an insult to Yuvraj Singh. Ganguly was poor against quality bowling after 2005-2006 seasons. He was the most unfit player in the team and had to be rightly kicked out by Greg Chappel. By far the best captain- is an insult to Dhoni. Ganguly is a great captain but be lacked the brains to outsmart the opposition like Dhoni did. Courage alone doesn't make one 'The best'. Dhoni will always be the greatest Indian Captain. Ganguly the greatest reformer of Indian cricket.
@@joejona look at the numbers. I guess you're new cricket fan. I have tremendous respect for yuvi. He was not even close to Sourav.

And what kicked out brother. I think you are misinformed/unaware of politics in the team that time. The idiot Chappel was thrown out with a garland of shoes shortly. And when Dada came back 9 months later, he had the best average in the team. BTW he was the fastest to 20+ centuries too (in the world, lately broken by kohli).

If that mighty Australia team wasn't there, he would have won the WC then itself..... Still he drew a series in Australia against that MIGHTY australia & he broke their winning streak..... People who follow stats don't know his value ... People who follow cricket knows about his greatness
Dada till now will be the best captain for India.He came during match fixing days when nobody was willing to take captaincy.He got cricketers from all over India,gave them confidence,turned them into fighters.And just think about the other teams especially Australia then and Australian team afterwards.I guess there can be no comparison with anyone.Another captain can be Kapil Dev ...
Dravid was the man of the series! What DADA gave us was the heart, its large-heartedness to stand the ground overseas in Tests, something that Dhoni lacked in the format but VK revived. The greatness of Indian captaincy in the modern era lies between the three. I hope we get someone who can move forward the legacy.
Before this, it was the 2000-01 home series where Dada's Team India stopped the 16 continuous test winning streak of the mighty, full strength Aussies led by Steve Waugh. After that, it was the Natwest trophy that put India on the map.
That century at Gabba by Dada had set the tone for india in that BG trophy series.....later Dravid, VVS, Sehwag, Sachin were all came into act along with Kumble , Agarkar with ball talking.
I’ve been watching most of people saying M.S. Dhoni is best Captain,ever since India has won World Cup. So I thought,one must know the contribution of our former Indian Captain Saurav Ganguly. ( Let me clear before start, you might be thinking, Bengali guy comes with the same debate. But I am not Bengali, I am from Maharshtra.) 1) Saurav Ganguly appointed as captain of indian cricket team in 2000 after match fixing scandal 2) 2000-Champions Trophy final 3) 2001 Won series against Australian team(stops recor of 17 consecutive win) 4) 2002- Natwest Cup(twirling shirt at Loards) 5) 2002-Champions trophy winner along with Sri Lanka 6) 2003-World Cup final after almost 20years(with worlds best opponent ever i.e.Aus) 7) 2004- First time in history won series in Pak 8) 2004- First time win test against Aus and drawn series In Australia 9) 2005- Sacked from team due to Chappel revelry 10) Out of 4 ICC Tournaments,he captained and reached in final 3 time,and won 1 time with almost newly formed team (Zahir,Yuvi,Nehra,Sehwag, Kaif, Bhajji,Viru) And coming to test side,he takes indian team from 8 to 3,then Kumble takes it from 3 to 2...... And Dhoni took this team from 2 to 1 Taking the team from 8 to 3 (with strong opponents) And taking 3 to 1 (normal opponents) Almost Australia has lost all main player, SA have only great bowler Steyn(main opponent) And most of the test played with Srilanka! Now you say what Dada did to Indian cricket?? And what MSD did to Indian cricket?? Of course country first than individual players,but why these guys always post MSD is the only reason for all achievements!!! That's why I'm posting this.. Dada team faced world's best bowling attacks!And what Dhoni team facing??? Only thing lacks for Dada is Luck,if luck would be there with Dada, we might won Worldcup 2003.. Alll are saying Dhoni won world cup after 28 year.but they forgot Dada reached final of WC after 20 year. #Forgotten #Hero#Victim#of#dirty#politics
I am a Delhite Bengali, born and brought up in Delhi. I grew up in my locality admist toxic Jaaths. It is hurtful how much xenophobia the jaaths had against Bengali culture. They could never admit that Sourav Ganguly was a great player. Acc to them, he made 0 contributions to Indian cricket. It hurt a lot. They bullied me for years And the most shit part is, the ones who bully are seen by everyone around as strong and those who can't be that toxic are seen as weak That's when Sourav Ganguly started to inspire me. We Bengalis esp those beyond Bengal need such an fighter spirit. Thank you dada ❤
Every non Bengalis hate Bengalis because they feel inferior infront of bengali's greatness, that's why dada was removed from Indian team because he was a Bengali. We Bengalis should teach good lessons to these non Bengalis.
I'm a South Indian and Dada will be my fav cricketer forever! I absolutely love him to bits ❤️ To me, he'll always be the Godfather of Indian cricket. He's a great source of inspiration and my childhood hero!
Dada is the father of today's almost invincible team India.. He is the best captain to me though statistics say it is Dhoni but circumstances say it is Dada beyond any doubt..
why Dada is best? look whom he competed against...his captaincy probably overshadowed his batting and bowling...he was never worried about his stats or others, all he wanted was to win
Dada is one of the most underrated captain of ICT he taught the team to play with aggression plus he nourished and picked the coals and turned them into diamonds whose shine made MSD a glorious captain. But behind Dhonis success as a captain dada was the unsung hero.
Kids today don't realize what Sourav Ganguly did and achieved in his career. He led the renaissance of Indian cricket and made it the team it is today. He is Allan Border of Indian cricket. Unfortunately during his time Australia were on the peak of their powers and Greg Chappell had messed up Indian cricket. But India still reached the 2000 Knockout finals, 2003 World Cup finals and shared the Champions trophy in 2002 with Sri Lanka. He instilled the belief in Indian players especially the youngsters like Yuvi, Sehwag, Bhajji, Zaheer and even Dhoni that they are equal to their foreign counterparts and this was missing from Indian cricket as Kapil mentioned himself and he did all that when Indian cricket was coming out of its darkest era. Teams like Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh need a captain like him to change the course of their future.
The greatness of a leader is gauged with his ability to make his ppl believe in themselves even in worst times , to make them believe that they will win, and to groom more leaders , after match fixing scandal Indian team was almost finished, ppl didn't believe their own team , all Ganguly had were amateurs, new kids and he turned those cubs into lions, they reached final of the world cup that too in one of worlds toughest grounds in South Africa, India lost the final not because of lack of talent but lack of experience by the time MSD got this team all those amateurs had become seasoned cricketers , and thats why Dada is greatest so far.
Before this tour of 2003-2004 many predicted 3-0 or 4-0 kind of easy win for Australia but Ganguly made 1-1 and retained BG trophy. In fact if Indian bowlers had pressed harder India could have easily won that series. Which they did ultimately in next series 2007-08 but umpires played their part and helped Australia to win that series.
Ganguly 's two main contribution were (1) Ganguly built a team, as before Ganguly India team was known by individuals only. It was never a team. (2) An aggression like Roaring tiger
@2:12 Anybody noticed, on the nonstriker end there was a legendary player , people call him the Akash Chopra . There was a quiet possibility that he was instructing Ganguli about how to play against Australians
That Australian bowling line up : Mcgrath Brett lee Gliseppe Shane Warne Andy Bichle Fleming Is the best line up in 2000s. They dominated thebperiod of 1999 to 2009. Those years are simply the Australia's greatest decade in Cricket history.
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” That's the summery of Indian Cricket.
Those who truly understand cricket don't hate Sourav Ganguly "DADA". Today's so-called cricket fans( clearly Kohli fans ) don't know and don't want to know how Sourav Ganguly recovered the almost destroyed Indian team. And re built the Indian team from scratch.

One of the most arguably and best cricketers of the era. I put a ton of respect to Ganguly's name among the greats of all time.
Indeed he was
Man who taught aggression to Indian team 🔥
Sourav Ganguly the Dada 🔥 Of the Indian team The Great wall of Indian cricket 🏏 team
This was the start of attitude Era for Indian cricket and Dada started it all
god of off drive cut... favourite player of every left handed guy in india.. ya only 90's kid relate with him ❤️
If that mighty Australia team wasn't there, he would have won the WC then itself..... Still he drew a series in Australia against that MIGHTY australia & he broke their winning streak..... People who follow stats don't know his value ... People who follow cricket knows about his greatness
Till now I am not able to change my mind to other cricketers... M totally addicted to dada till my last breath..
If DRS was available back then ganguly would have been the first Indian captain to ein a series against Australia in Australia
did he win any series in Aust??
Ganguly "the man of renaissance" of India cricket.he only revolutionized Indian cricket in modern era..obviously remember great Kapil dev
Dada till now will be the best captain for India.He came during match fixing days when nobody was willing to take captaincy.He got cricketers from all over India,gave them confidence,turned them into fighters.And just think about the other teams especially Australia then and Australian team afterwards.I guess there can be no comparison with anyone.Another captain can be Kapil Dev ...
MSD above all
@@vishalrockzz1909Msd is best odi captain but in test it's either Kohli or Dada. I will go for dada.
@@vishalrockzz1909your beloved msd is the discovery of dada😂
The aggressive Indian team that we see today has its roots in Ganguly's captaincy.
Dravid was the man of the series! What DADA gave us was the heart, its large-heartedness to stand the ground overseas in Tests, something that Dhoni lacked in the format but VK revived. The greatness of Indian captaincy in the modern era lies between the three. I hope we get someone who can move forward the legacy.
Sourav Ganguly king of Off-Side. Dada ka Cut-shot cheer dega re 🔥🔥
Dada formed a core group of Dravid Sachin VVS Virendra and himself to becomes the batting powerhouse which was never seen before / after
This particular innings changed Indian cricket forever. After this innings Australia knew that they were not invincible.
Before this, it was the 2000-01 home series where Dada's Team India stopped the 16 continuous test winning streak of the mighty, full strength Aussies led by Steve Waugh. After that, it was the Natwest trophy that put India on the map.
That century at Gabba by Dada had set the tone for india in that BG trophy series.....later Dravid, VVS, Sehwag, Sachin were all came into act along with Kumble , Agarkar with ball talking.
Our best days of watching cricket was under Saurav Ganguly captaincy 🤩🤩🤩🤩
That era of batting and today's bowling together would have been scary for all the teams
Godfather of Indian Cricket Dada😍
I’ve been watching most of people saying M.S. Dhoni is best Captain,ever since India has won World Cup. So I thought,one must know the contribution of our former Indian Captain Saurav Ganguly.
( Let me clear before start, you might be thinking, Bengali guy comes with the same debate. But I am not Bengali, I am from Maharshtra.)
1) Saurav Ganguly appointed as captain of indian cricket team in 2000 after match fixing scandal
2) 2000-Champions Trophy final
3) 2001 Won series against Australian team(stops recor of 17 consecutive win)
4) 2002- Natwest Cup(twirling shirt at Loards)
5) 2002-Champions trophy winner along with Sri Lanka
6) 2003-World Cup final after almost 20years(with worlds best opponent ever i.e.Aus)
7) 2004- First time in history won series in Pak
8) 2004- First time win test against Aus and drawn series In Australia
9) 2005- Sacked from team due to Chappel revelry
10) Out of 4 ICC Tournaments,he captained and reached in final 3 time,and won 1 time with almost newly formed team (Zahir,Yuvi,Nehra,Sehwag, Kaif, Bhajji,Viru) And coming to test side,he takes indian team from 8 to 3,then Kumble takes it from 3 to 2......
And Dhoni took this team from 2 to 1 Taking the team from 8 to 3 (with strong opponents) And taking 3 to 1 (normal opponents) Almost Australia has lost all main player, SA have only great bowler Steyn(main opponent) And most of the test played with Srilanka! Now you say what Dada did to Indian cricket?? And what MSD did to Indian cricket?? Of course country first than individual players,but why these guys always post MSD is the only reason for all achievements!!! That's why I'm posting this.. Dada team faced world's best bowling attacks!And what Dhoni team facing??? Only thing lacks for Dada is Luck,if luck would be there with Dada, we might won Worldcup 2003.. Alll are saying Dhoni won world cup after 28 year.but they forgot Dada reached final of WC after 20 year.

The Foundation of what the Indian cricket is now is because of the 'prince of Kolkata'
I am a Delhite Bengali, born and brought up in Delhi. I grew up in my locality admist toxic Jaaths. It is hurtful how much xenophobia the jaaths had against Bengali culture. They could never admit that Sourav Ganguly was a great player. Acc to them, he made 0 contributions to Indian cricket. It hurt a lot. They bullied me for years And the most shit part is, the ones who bully are seen by everyone around as strong and those who can't be that toxic are seen as weak
That's when Sourav Ganguly started to inspire me. We Bengalis esp those beyond Bengal need such an fighter spirit. Thank you dada ❤
Every non Bengalis hate Bengalis because they feel inferior infront of bengali's greatness, that's why dada was removed from Indian team because he was a Bengali. We Bengalis should teach good lessons to these non Bengalis.
I'm a South Indian and Dada will be my fav cricketer forever! I absolutely love him to bits ❤️ To me, he'll always be the Godfather of Indian cricket. He's a great source of inspiration and my childhood hero!
Dada is the father of today's almost invincible team India.. He is the best captain to me though statistics say it is Dhoni but circumstances say it is Dada beyond any doubt..
The best Cricket Captain India had!
why Dada is best? look whom he competed against...his captaincy probably overshadowed his batting and bowling...he was never worried about his stats or others, all he wanted was to win
but what he won?? Asia Cup??
Dada is one of the most underrated captain of ICT he taught the team to play with aggression plus he nourished and picked the coals and turned them into diamonds whose shine made MSD a glorious captain. But behind Dhonis success as a captain dada was the unsung hero.
Kids today don't realize what Sourav Ganguly did and achieved in his career. He led the renaissance of Indian cricket and made it the team it is today. He is Allan Border of Indian cricket. Unfortunately during his time Australia were on the peak of their powers and Greg Chappell had messed up Indian cricket. But India still reached the 2000 Knockout finals, 2003 World Cup finals and shared the Champions trophy in 2002 with Sri Lanka. He instilled the belief in Indian players especially the youngsters like Yuvi, Sehwag, Bhajji, Zaheer and even Dhoni that they are equal to their foreign counterparts and this was missing from Indian cricket as Kapil mentioned himself and he did all that when Indian cricket was coming out of its darkest era. Teams like Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh need a captain like him to change the course of their future.
Love u "MAHARAJ" The Prince of Calcutta❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏
My all time fav captain Ganguly❤
The greatness of a leader is gauged with his ability to make his ppl believe in themselves even in worst times , to make them believe that they will win, and to groom more leaders , after match fixing scandal Indian team was almost finished, ppl didn't believe their own team , all Ganguly had were amateurs, new kids and he turned those cubs into lions, they reached final of the world cup that too in one of worlds toughest grounds in South Africa, India lost the final not because of lack of talent but lack of experience by the time MSD got this team all those amateurs had become seasoned cricketers , and thats why Dada is greatest so far.
The greatest Indian captain who changed Indian cricket forever...
Architect of modern day Indian cricket
IPL kids never knew him. How much he inspired our players to fightback ❤️
No one can replace Dada as my fav player
Really best captain in India
The founder of new era in Indian cricket
Before this tour of 2003-2004 many predicted 3-0 or 4-0 kind of easy win for Australia but Ganguly made 1-1 and retained BG trophy. In fact if Indian bowlers had pressed harder India could have easily won that series. Which they did ultimately in next series 2007-08 but umpires played their part and helped Australia to win that series.
Dada is emotion❤
আমাদের দাদা! 🏏❤️🇮🇳
the greatest Indian captain ever..
MISS YOU DADA ALL LEGEND
Fire in the belly Ganguli, his tenacity turned the team around.
Sourav❤❤
1st satyajit ray of Bengal in direction and second Ganguly in indian cricket🏏💢🔥🍵
Ganguly 's two main contribution were (1) Ganguly built a team, as before Ganguly India team was known by individuals only. It was never a team. (2) An aggression like Roaring tiger
Dada without doubt was the greatest captain that India ever had.
Sachin Tendulkar wicket still hurts me
He is the builder of today's Indian team
No one can beat this great legend.... always love you Dada ❤🎉
@2:12 Anybody noticed, on the nonstriker end there was a legendary player , people call him the Akash Chopra . There was a quiet possibility that he was instructing Ganguli about how to play against Australians
lul
man.. hilarious 😂😂😂
दादा जैसा कोई नहीं हो सकता है
That Australian bowling line up :
Mcgrath
Brett lee
Gliseppe
Shane Warne
Andy Bichle
Fleming
Is the best line up in 2000s. They dominated thebperiod of 1999 to 2009. Those years are simply the Australia's greatest decade in Cricket history.
The only thing he missed was that 2003 world cup against Australia at Wanderers

“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”
That's the summery of Indian Cricket.
There won't be another Sourav Ganguly ever again for india..my most fav cricketer of all time! ❤️ Gangulian forever 💪
All time favourite dada
Indian cricket aggressive first caption DADA ❤
Dada, you are one of the great indian captain 💚 😊🙌
Those who truly understand cricket don't hate Sourav Ganguly "DADA".
Today's so-called cricket fans( clearly Kohli fans ) don't know and don't want to know how Sourav Ganguly recovered the almost destroyed Indian team.
And re built the Indian team from scratch.
For me Ganguly was the greatest captain of all time.
Dada is a legend... The MAN behind the success of today's Indian team...
Buckner love for Sachin is very famous that time!!!! Sarcastic
Dada ❤️🙌🏻
To fight against quality australian team of that era was not a joke. Only south africa and India were teams who were able to give good fight to them.
1:04 just see Sachin average of 56 at 108 matches just amazing goat of cricket
Dada always ❤️❤️❤️
I am fan of dhoni but GANGULY ??? He is a LEGEND
Missing old days. Still remember waking up early morning to watch cricket in Australia. Like u miss those old days
