“I never wanted to be liked. I wanted to be respected. I wanted to win.”
— Sourav Ganguly
The Transformation
The Inheritance
He took over a team that had lost its way. Match-fixing scandals had shattered confidence. The world saw India as pushovers.
The Method
He backed youngsters when others doubted. Sehwag, Yuvraj, Zaheer, Harbhajan, Kaif—he saw potential and gave them belief.
The Legacy
The team he built won the 2011 World Cup. The mentality he instilled—fight, believe, never back down—lives on.
