Indian Cricket Standard Nowhere Equal To Saurav Ganguly’s Squad

Highlights

• Shane Warne has described Virat Kohli’s captaincy era to be quite “impressive”
• Indian cricket is nowhere near the standards displayed by Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman, Tendulkar, Sehwag
• The unique batting style of each of these players had pushed India to magnificent international standards.

Shane Warne has taken a stand for the level of Indian cricket under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. He is indeed impressed by the work Kohli has done on the Indian team and what all he has achieved at such a budding stage of his career. 

However, he has also put in a melancholic note that the standard of batting is nowhere as good as the golden era of Indian cricket. Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman, Tendulkar, Sehwag comprised the fab five of the Indian batting line from the 1990s to 2000s. Their skills had been legendary to watch and the fans were treated to an exemplary quality of cricket during that specific era.

Shane Warne Describes The Standard Of Indian Cricket

As Shane Warne has described, these five batsmen, Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman, Tendulkar, Sehwag, had the ability to face all kinds of bowling attacks from different corners of the world. Warne has praised their competency to deal with any kind of pressure in the international matches as well. Although each of these players had their own temperament, they had been perfect as a team.

The Skills Of Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman, Tendulkar, Sehwag

Rahul Dravid probably set the trend of being “Captain Cool” before MS Dhoni came to the field. With his skills of captaincy and perfect batting order, he was the savior of the nation in several international test matches. On the other hand, Saurav Ganguly set a trend in aggressive captaincy with the aid of Virendra Sehwag. Both of them were known as the “angry young boys” of the field. No specific words can describe the beauty of cricket displayed by Sachin Tendulkar. VVS Laxman set his own standards of pulling off a win for the team in the high-pressure matches. According to Warne, although India is indeed performing great under the leadership of Virat Kohli, it will take a long time to reach the fantastic standards set by these five batsmen in their era.
