Sourav Ganguly, India's most winning captain, yesterday hailed Mahendra Singh Dhoni as "the greatest ever" to lead the Indian cricket team.
Ganguly, who led India to the final in the 2003 World Cup, said he knew that Dhoni's men would triumph.
"When they beat Australia (in the quarter-final) I knew India would win the World Cup. A lot of people thought Sri Lanka would win, but I was confident," he said.
The Prince of Kolkata praised Dhoni's match-winning knock of 91 not out in the final. "According to me, Dhoni played his best innings in the final. He played a perfect captain's innings," Ganguly said.
Ganguly was impressed by Gautam Gambhir's knock of 97 as well. "Gambhir played brilliantly. First, he ensured there was no further fall of wicket, then he smoothly accelerated the innings. I liked the way he batted," he said.
