Greatest: MSD or Ganguly ???!!!...
Being the captain of a cricket team is no ceremonial job. It's a challenging role only a few can perform. Many, some of them the best cricketers we've seen, have failed to cope with the burden of captaincy despite having ruled over the sport with their unmatched cricketing skills.What's even more difficult is to pick the right candidate for leadership. Dressing room chatter, personal history, mental strength and other more unquantifiable factors help selectors make the choice while picking a skipper.
Captaincy record in Tests:
Matches Won Lost Drawn Win Percentage
Sourav Ganguly 49 21 13 15 42.6%
MS Dhoni 60 27 18 15 45%
Captaincy record in ODIs:
Matches Won Lost Tied NR Win Percentage
Sourav Ganguly 147 76 66 0 5 51.7%
MS Dhoni 178 101 63 4 11 56.74%
If Sourav Ganguly pushed the boundaries of what Indian cricket team could achieve on the field, MS Dhoni has only raised the bar a bit higher and got more success overall
