Out of many captains in India, I adore Ganguly for his agression. His daring and roar. But not people will remember, India lost 21 out of 23 finals under Ganguly captainship.. India only won natwest and a draw with sri lanka in chapions trophy in 2002. But ganguly was very good in brining India in finals in almost all the big tournaments.. Like we lost of new zealand in mini world cup in kenya in 2002. A draw finals in 2002 in champions trophy... 2003 woirld cup loss in 2003. But dravid team always lost in first round.... But Ganguly was Indias most successful test captain with 22 record wins and he started winning abroad test matches. Compare to both... Azhar was mosr successful one day captain. He won more one day trpphies than anyone.. Sharjah 4 or five times.. then hereo cup. then independance trphy in sri lanka and many more...

i beg to differ.azhar is one of the most uninspiring captains we ever had.he must have won u more cups at home but the quality of cricket left much to be desired . there were atleast a dozen times when we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. that is where ganguly rules, he would never let it go if he could smell victory

we very well know the long knocks played by azhar during his tenure... there were instances when we snatched victory from the jaws of defeat..... look at the brighter side as well.

I agree with your views sameer, in my opinion Azhar was the best captain. His performance as a batsmen along with his electric fielding on the ground was an inspiration for the team.
