Out of the list of all those cricketers, only Sachin's name compares to Ganguly on pure talent. Ganguly was an exceptionally attractive batsman to watch. When he was on form he made everything look easy, and you bowled too wide to him and that was it.
Yet Ganguly sacrificed his career to lead Indian cricket to better things. I think a lot of people will forget how well he galvanised his team into a cohesive unit. Before Ganguly, India were pretty much a perennial underachiever squad with tonnes of individuals who were talented, but he installed belief in the culture of Indian cricket, and turned them into a winning team.
I think that took a lot out of him and he stopped working on his own game. Id hazard a guess his record as just a player is vastly different to his record as captain. And id personally rate him much higher of a natural talent than VVS
