Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni are the two most successful captains of India. In many ways, Dhoni owes Ganguly for giving him some matured players. A lot of cricketers who formed the backbone of DHoni’s team like Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh etc were all nurtured under Ganguly. Now Sourav Ganguly has revealed how Pakistan P M Pervez Musharaff was in awe of Dhoni’s batting and what he asked him about Dhoni during India’s tour in 2006..
“I still remember Pervez Musharraf asking me from where did you get him? ‘I told him he was walking near the Wagah border and we pulled him in’,” Ganguly said.
Sourav also had a few words of advice for Dhoni.
“Just like everyone else he has to perform. There’s one must in life: whatever job you do, wherever you are, whatever age you have, how much experience you have, you have to keep performing at the top level otherwise someone else will take your place,” Ganguly commented.
“I wish him (Dhoni) all the luck because we want champions to go on a high, whenever he goes. I still feel he can hit the ball in the stands. He’s a phenomenal cricketer,” he added.
