MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS

When Ganguly became the captain the India team that time no one was ready tobecome the captain. The team was under the controversy of the match fixing. And

then Sourav stood up as a leader and became the captain of the Indian cricket team.

The World Cup 2003 did not start on a happy note for India as they lost to

Australia in just their second game of the tournament but then came the turn round

and they reached to the final of that world cup.

He became the most successful captain for India after India won the test series

against Pakistan in 2004.It was also the first test series victory on Pakistans soil.

He captained India when they beat England in the 2002 NatWest Finals chasing

325. He scored 60 off just 43 balls opening the batting.

Led India to 2-1 win against Australia at home in a historic Test series.

LEADERSHIP TRAITS OF SOURAV GANGULY

Meritocracy: - Meritocracy is appointment peoples on the basis of their

talent and ability. So, if we are talking about S. Ganguly then we must say that

he is very much concussing aboutMeritocracy. He took talent like Virender

Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Yuvraj Singh or

Mohammed Kaif.

An eye for talent:- This is one of the important trails for any successful

manager like Ganguly. As an example , Javagal Srinath selected by Gangulybefore World Cup 2003 and he was the leading wicket taker of Indian teams.


5/12

Nurturing talent:- Sourav did not stop with identifying the talent. He had a

knack for removing the fear of failure from the minds of these young players.

When Sehwag was asked to open the innings in test matches, he was worried

that failure would mean being dropped.Ganguly told him that failure as an opener would not see him dropped, but

would only see him reverted to the middle order; his place in the team would be

safe.

There can be no doubt that the confidence arising from such an assurance played

a part in Sehwags scores as an opener in the 2002-2005 periods.

Insistence on continued performance:-Sourav never seemed to have a

problem with balancing the need to encourage a talented youngster with the

need to include a better performer or to demand better standards from the

youngster.

Ganguly backed Akash Chopra through the tour to Australia, but midwaythrough the Pakistan tour that followed, he dropped him to accommodate Yuvraj

Singh in the team.

In the series that followed, Yuvraj in turn, was dropped owing to poor

performances. The players who get into this can never let their standards drop as

their performance is closely watched in every match to see whether they should

remain in the fast track or not.


6/12

Indifference to criticism:- It seems Sourav did not spend much time worrying

about whether his actions and decisions met with general approval or not.

He did what he thought was right for the team and lived with the consequences

of that.

Ganguly has spoken in an interview about how he had advised Rahul Dravid not

to worry about what people wrote about him.

Ganguly seemed to accept that criticism went with the job and never lost sleep

over it.

No personal insecurity and preference for match winners:- Sourav was very

strident and unapologetic in his preference for potential match-winners over

steady performers.

The potential match winners Yuvraj, Harbhajan and Sehwag were preferred over

their more staid counterparts like Mohammed Kaif, Sanjay Bangar and even Anil

Kumble; Dravid was the sole exception.

Vision

Team- Building

Giving precedence to team over individuals.

Instilling aggression in the team.

Motivating.

Tough Taskmaster.

Intuitive decision maker.


10/12

Opting to remain out in a match against Australia for not getting the desire

pitch- Revolting nature-Team should be first-should understand politics.

He supported Greg Chappell as coach despite the fact that some people

including Steve Waugh asked him not to support Chappell- Carried away by

the results thinking that he is always right.

Made a come back in the team after being dropped out from team-Shows

the positive attitude towards earning the respect and answer the critics.

Didnt rely on formal room meetings and looked at different methods for

team building- Thinks out of the Box.

Australian were feared by the Indian team-Taught team to be aggressive

and fight back.
