Sachin Tendulkar names favorite captains during Reddit session

During a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' session, Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar identified Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni as his favorite captains. Tendulkar noted that both players would be at the top of his list when asked to choose between them.

Reflecting on his own tenure as captain of the Indian Test team, Tendulkar described the role as a great honor but noted he did not always have full freedom to select his team. He also commented on the evolution of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), stating that the organization is significantly more professional now than it was during the 1990s, a period he characterized as a dark phase for Indian cricket.

Additionally, Tendulkar named Harry Brook, Joe Root, and Steve Smith as his current favorite non-Indian batters. He also shared his views on young talent, suggesting that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi should focus on playing more red-ball matches before taking on leadership responsibilities.
