Ganguly changed mentality of Indian cricket, Dhoni took it forward: Lalchand Rajput

By Saurabh Sharma June 29, 2020 • 16:29 PM View: 1051

New Delhi, June 29: Lalchand Rajput, who was Team India's manager during their victory at the inaugural edition of the WT20, gave an insight into wicket-keeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni and what made him one of the best captains the game has ever seen.

Rajput likened Dhoni's style to that of former India captain and current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly. He believes that Ganguly played a big role in changing the way cricket was played in India and Dhoni simply took that forward when he became the captain of the side in 2007.
