Tendulkar recently spent time with his former opening partner and current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly on his 50th birthday in the UK.
As the BCCI president turned 50 on Friday, his “opening partner” opened up with PTI, sharing many insights into their friendship and how he looked at Ganguly as a future captain when he himself was leading India.

Ask him how much freedom Ganguly gave his players during his near five-year tenure as skipper, Tendulkar was effusive in his praise.
“Sourav was a great captain. He knew how to maintain a balance – between giving freedom to the players and giving them certain responsibilities,” Tendulkar told PTI in an interview.
“When he took over, Indian cricket was in a transition phase. We needed the next bunch of players who could set a platform for propelling India forward,” he added.
