| Ajit Wadekar "Ganguly should be given more time. Prospective captains are not standing in queue outside the board’s office." | |
| Ashok Mankad "The board appoints the Indian captain, giving him the cheese. Then they keep moving it. So unless he is constantly eyeing the cheese, it’s gone." | |
| Arun Lal "Ganguly has done well as captain. If we keep changing captains at will, we will soon run out of them." | |
| Raju Mukherjee "It’s been BCCI’s policy not to have good cricketers in the team for long. They pray for failures to turn attention away from their own scams." | |
| M.A.K. Pataudi "Sooner or later, one learns that the privilege of leading India comes with a heavy price." | |
| Steve Waugh "Ganguly is the best person to lead India. He is competitive, demanding and knows what he wants from his players." | |
| Sadagopan Ramesh "Saurav backs his mates even when they are on a low, or losing. That is a huge thing for us. He’s a superb leader." |
