Sachin Tendulkar Reflects on India Captaincy and Names Favourite LeadersPreviousNext

Sachin Tendulkar reflected on his tenure as India’s cricket captain during a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' session, noting he lacked full freedom to select his team amid a less professional BCCI in the 1990s. He described that period as a 'dark phase' for Indian cricket. Tendulkar named Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni as his favourite captains, praising their leadership. He also acknowledged South Africa’s Temba Bavuma for his captaincy achievements.
