I have gone through lots of post about Sourav Ganguly standing by Rahul when Rahul wasn't in the best of the nick in ODI's. Also that Sourav accomodated Rahul in his ODI setup as a keeper so that Rahul can retain his place. Check the records for yourself. Rahul's peak time in ODI started during the Newzealand tour in 1998-99 just before the 1999 world cup. This was when he re-invented his One Day batting technique. At that time Md Azharuddin was the Indian Skipper not Sourav. Rahul btb was the highest run getter in the 1999 edition of WC held in UK. Secondly, with regard to Rahul's wicket keeping claim, it was Sourav's master brain to thrust Rahul with the job not because he wanted Rahul to retain the place in ODI but because he wanted to accomodate an extra batsman in the team. Hope this puts the record straight. Cheers
