One of the greatest ever.The contribution made by everyone in the hindsight is undermined by the Sachin factor.The problem with the Indian Cricket ,mainly attributed to the Indian commentators who once played for India(like Siddhu and Jadeja), for whom scoring 220-230 was a great deal and depended mainly on Tendulkar to save the grace for India, don't stop singing Sachin's tune.
1. Sachin Tendulkar- Brings joy to thousands of Indians 2. Kapil Dev -- Changed the Cricket status of India after 83 world cup 3. Sunil Gavaskar --- Saved India in numerous occasion from defeat in overseas and improving standard of Indian Cricket
4. Sourabh Ganguly -- After Match fixing episode in Indian cricket when people start loosing interest in cricket , he deveop a new Indian Team (Men in Blue) and keep the Spirit of Cricket going in India
Ganguly should stop underestimating team India in general, and Dhoni in Particular. He should accept that Dhoni is second best captain of India after Kapil who have won the World Cup. Ganguly always says that Dhoni would be tested overseas and keeps up saying despite the fact that Dhoni has defeated Australia and Srilanka on their soil and won the world cup in South Africa. He always ignores the ease with which the team is winning in India. How many series Ganguly has won 5-0 or 4-1 (that could also have been won if Dhoni has not insisted for givning Chance to youngsters than creating records. I don't know when Ganguly behave like a mature human being!

how can you call dhoni the better captain than pataudi, ganguli and wadekar?? dhoni has not yet taken on a tough team abroad, like waugh's australia, brearly's england or clive loyed's windies. no cricketer has rediscovered his form under dhoni - the way many players came up with their best under ganguly. and dhoni only won the T20 WC, T20 is not cricket except in jharkhand.
