Sourav Ganguly questions Ravi Shastri

Ganguly wonders who picks the Indian side

Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly believes that captain should take the lead and a coach should take the back seat. He also wanted to know who picks the Indian team after he spoke about the difference between cricket and football in terms of the role of a captain and a coach.

"It is not like football. A lot of current cricket coaches think that they are going to run a cricket team like a football team, but cricket is a captain's game and coach has to take a backseat and that is important," said Ganguly at the launch his book - 'A Century is not Enough'

When asked about what question he would ask current India head coach Ravi Shastri, he said, "Who picks up the team, Rohit Sharma (stand-in ODI captain) or Ravi Shastri?"

He also added that players need to be backed and speaking about the scenario of several players not knowing whether they will play the next game, he said, "Virat (Kohli) needs to work little on it. I backed them because I saw them closely, I have seen them how they react to pressure."
