Deep Dasgupta Says Ganguly Made India More Assertive

Deep Dasgupta talked about how Sourav Ganguly changed India's cricket team.

Before Ganguly's time, players usually kept their anger inside and tried to respond by playing well.

Under Ganguly, they still focused on their performances but also answered opponents who teased them.

Dasgupta said Ganguly had a very confident attitude.

That confidence spread to the rest of the team.

He noticed the change when comparing India's earlier tour of Australia with the 2003 tour.

The team became more willing to stand up for itself.

Dasgupta said this attitude later became part of India's fearless approach overseas.
