The book mentions, “Ganguly’s mantra was simple: If he believed that a youngster was talented, he would have enough opportunities to prove his worth. This provided a much-needed calmer atmosphere for the young player as it was certain that he would not be dropped after one failure”.
“MS Dhoni is a fine example of this policy. Despite failing in his first four innings, Sourav decided to pursue the youngster who repaid with a 148-run knock against Pakistan. It was one innings which probably set Dhoni’s career on a completely different trajectory,” the book mentioned.
“If Sourav had not persisted with him, India would have arguably lost its finest wicketkeeper-batsman till date,” the book by Rupa publication mentioned.
