He is one of the most successful Indian captain's.

Now part of the BCCI cricket advisory committee alongside Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman, Ganguly, 43, prefers to
play with a straight bat to the team's response of Virat Kohli as Test captain and Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the ODI leader.

"From this two-captain's theory, India have never had that and obviously it has happened due to the retirement of MS (Dhoni) from Test matches. But other teams in the world have had it, like Australia, England, South Africa, Sri Lanka.

"If you win it works, if you don't win it doesn't work," he said.
