Sourav Ganguly was the man who truly backed MS Dhoni and pushed him quickly through the system, as he felt that players who are talented enough should be fast-tracked, and that playing with people above their level helps a player improve their skill set.
Ganguly revealed that former Indian selector Saba Karim had a major role in flagging MS Dhoni as a cricketer from Jharkhand. He also agreed that much before his debut, Dhoni was already noticed for his unique talent by the Indian selectors as well as the Indian skipper himself.
That performance appears to have removed hesitation. “We had to take him. Whoever is good has to be fast-tracked. You cannot leave him. If you keep cooking him slowly from behind, he will finish,” Ganguly said.

He also explained the cricketing logic behind that aggressive promotion model. “This is the system. If you play with people above your level, your game will rise. If you play below, your game will go down,” he said.
“We watch full matches. When Dhoni used to play, I had gone to Jamshedpur to watch him. He did not even know,” Ganguly concluded.
