Mumbai, Jun 20 (UNI) Former chief selector Kris Srikkanth has described Sourav Ganguly as a born leader, saying that the current BCCI president was able to form a winning combination and helped 'Team India' inculcate a competitive spirit and inspired them to win overseas.
Srikkanth likened Ganguly with West Indies great Clive Lloyd and credited him for bringing together a team combination similar to how Clive Lloyd did for the West Indies in 1976.
"Ganguly was proactive. He was the guy who was able to form the team combination. Like how in 1976 Clive Lloyd formed the winning combination (for the West Indies team), Sourav put the correct team together and then inspired them," Srikkanth said on Star Sports 1 Tamil show ''Cricket Connected - Aattam Thodarum'.
