Nobody is perfect and I think MS Dhoni has been great: Sourav Ganguly

India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni received appreciation from CAB president Sourav Ganguly for his leadership in the World T20. He said that MS Dhoni did most of the things right in the ICC World T20 semi-final, although the home team lost to the West Indies.

“He (Dhoni) has been a great captain for India. Nobody is perfect and I think he has been great,” Ganguly said at a panel discussion here.

“We all wanted India to go to the T20 World Cup finals and win the Cup but West Indies and England are the two best teams in the competition.

“This West Indies side will actually get people on the edge of their seats because of their power and ability,” he added.

Ganguly also stated that West Indies which mowed down the total of 193 deserves to be in the finals.

“I think on that particular day at the Wankhede stadium two days ago West Indies were a lot better than India. To chase 193 in a semifinal is a special effort,” he said.

Sourav Ganguly gave a positive reply when he was asked about the scheduled cultural programme before the start of the final at the Eden Gardens on Sunday. The question over the programme crept up after Kolkata suffered a deadly tragedy couple of days back when a flyover collapsed.

Ganguly, who is the CAB president, said a four-minute cultural event to showcase West Bengal before the world will be held at Eden Gardens.

“A little bit of cultural thing will happen. It has not been called off. It is a cultural event to showcase Bengal and I think it should be held,” he said while expressing his condolences to the families of the 26 victims who died in the tragedy.

“This is a small exposure on the culture of Bengal and we will go ahead with it. It is a four-minute performance and nothing to do with India,” Ganguly, who was on Saturday announced as brand ambassador of DTDC Express Limited, said.
