He's very competitive and knows what he wants. He has developed toughness in character and that is what is needed for Indian cricket. Ganguly has proved to be one of the best captains. He has now acquired great leadership qualities.
The cricket's gone, we only hear machines In erg and atom they exact their pay. And life is largely lived on silver screens.
Sourav has got a huge role to play in Indian cricket and its success. I hope certainly that he gets back in there because he is a hell of a good player and he still has got too much to offer to Indian cricket.

The imaginative young vagabond quickly loses the social instincts that help to make life bearable for other men.

I think it is just the way he has changed the game overall and his own game because there are so many situations he has faced.
