satta conference: Sourav Ganguly participated in TV9 Bharatvarsh's power conference and this player told something which very few fans would know. Sourav Ganguly was asked the question whether Sachin is good or Virat Kohli is better? On this Ganguly clearly said that he cannot answer this question. However, he said that he has played a lot of cricket with Sachin and in his eyes he is a very big batsman. Sourav Ganguly said that Sachin scoring 100 centuries is a huge feat which may not be possible to repeat. Sourav Ganguly also told that while opening with Sachin, there was pressure on him to raise the level of his game.
Ganguly said, 'Don't ask me who is better than Virat and Sachin. Both have won so many matches, how difficult it is to score so many runs, score so many centuries. I have opened with him in 250 ODIs. I used to say that my game should never come down. My wife used to say that he will come down but I used to say that people will say that on one side there is such a big batsman, on the other side a novice is playing.
When Ganguly was asked which are the players of the current team whom he would like to see in the team under his captaincy, he took the names of Bumrah and Virat Kohli. He said, 'There are Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah who could have come in that team.' Ganguly also praised Rohit Sharma. He said, 'Rohit is also such a big player, he is an amazing captain. When I was the BCCI President, he was the captain. He became the captain because we felt that Rohit would prove to be an excellent captain. Virat had refused captaincy. Jai Shah and I felt that Rohit would do well. Look at Rohit Sharma today and where he has taken Team India. He is such a captain about whom players talk outside. Every player praises his captaincy.
Sourav Ganguly called Dhoni a better captain than himself. He said, 'Ganguly is a better captain than me. He won 2 World Cups, won ICC Trophy. It is important to see that he came from a small place in Jharkhand and became such a big player. After becoming such a big player, see today Ishan Kishan has come from Jharkhand. Vaibhav Suryavanshi is from Bihar, if a player from a small town becomes big then other players from that place come forward.
