If someone sledged, we started giving it back: Dasgupta reflects on Ganguly captaincy's impact on Team India

Former Indian cricketer Deep Dasgupta discussed Sourav Ganguly's impact on Team India's approach to sledging. Under Ganguly, the team began to retaliate against opponents instead of just internalizing. This shift reflected Ganguly's 'I am the king' mentality, which influenced the entire squad. The change was evident between Dasgupta's first and last tours of Australia. Ganguly's leadership laid the groundwork for future successful Indian captains and teams.
