Review: Castrol Indian cricket awards
Sourav Ganguly was selected as best Indian captain in 75 years of test cricket at the 10th Castrol awards in Kochi. But in my opinion, Pataudi is an outstanding captain when compared to Sourav Ganguly. Mohammad Azharuddin (most successful captain), Anil Kumble (most successful test bowler) found no mention at these awards! Had any other cricketer played so much crucial role as Kumble in Indian test wins in these 75 years.
