“We’m not doing anything like that, because I’m a player myself, and I understand that it’s very difficult to be a captain in all formats for so long.”
“I was captain for six years and it looks good on the outside and has all the respect. But it’s like you have a burn inside, and this is what happens to any captain. Not only Sachin, Ganguly, Dhoni or Kohli, but the next captain will also be affected. This is hard work. ” Ganguly said.
