Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq heaped praise on India batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who scored a rilliant 141 in the second Tuesday.

"There is no doubt about his talent. He is the best batsman in the world today," Inzamam said after his team beat India by 12 runs.

"He thoroughly deserves the honour of being the first to score 13,000 runs in one-dayers."

Despite Tendulkar's innings, Pakistan squared the series 1-1 after losing the first match at Karachi by five runs in a thrilling finale.

"The amount of hard work he's put in for this landmark is amazing. I don't think it's easy to achieve this milestone. It takes a long time to get there," said Inzamam, second on the all-time one-day list with 9,607 runs.

We have not seen Ganguly as an authentic captain, administrating his player to do best in and out of the field. He is aggressive with zeal to perform rather building the spirit and strength of the team. I strongly feel that Dravid with his passion and temperament is more suitable choice to replace Ganguly. Right from the World Cup at south africa, there was much of speculation whether Ganguly should carry as Captain or not. It is high time that BCCI decide to put Dravid as the team leader and post him on the forefront as he is always there to deliver. From his expressions it always makes sense that he has the will and capability to deliver than show aggressiveness putting all hopes down. I strongly feel that bowlers do need a change in their captaincy for them to perform and have feel good factor.
