Sourav Ganguly is often referred to as one of the strongest characters in the history of Indian Men's cricket. He was known for his strong resolve, his determination, and his sharp captaincy skills.

Sourav Ganguly made a recent appearance in Harsha Bhogle's hosted show 'The Captain's Calm' and made a massive revelation on a conditional fight with the BCCI selectors. He mentions that the fight was over the selection of seasoned Indian spinner Anil Kumble for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia back in 2003.
“In the 2003 tour of Australia, Anil Kumble stood up, and he finished the year with the highest number of wickets. I couldn’t dream of it (not having Anil Kumble in the team), especially on the tour of Australia," recalled Ganguly.
"And I remember the selectors telling me I needed a left-arm spinner because of how well Daniel Vettori had bowled when New Zealand toured before us. He did exceptionally well. But I said, ‘No, I am not going to leave without him.’
