Sourav Ganguly has been a catalyst for Indian cricket to be a worldwide force: David Llyod

India TV News  

Former England cricketer David Lloyd feels that Sourav Ganguly was the catalyst for India to shed their image as poor travellers and become a force to reckon with away from home as well. Lloyd, who was part of the England side that bowled out India for their record lowest total of 42 in the 1976 Lord's Test, said that the overall shift in focus in Indian cricket to fast bowling over the years coupled with the Ganguly era has made India a side to reckon with regardless of the conditions. "Over the years it then became an endeavour in Indian cricket to find fast bowlers and probably Kapil Dev led the charge. "I think Ganguly has been a massive influence on Indian cricket and Virat Kohli has taken it to another level.
