India have been doing well in ODIs, but Ganguly doesn't think that India's Test team is on the decline either. "You need to give them some time and as I said, they have played overseas and at home in the past 10-11 years. Yes, we have had a hiccup in Australia and England but we have an opportunity this season in South Africa, New Zealand, England and Australia to improve our performance and I don't agree with the tag," Ganguly said.

"Yes, They are a very good limited overs side but in Test matches too they have given results," he added. Ahead of what is going to be a gruelling tour of South Africa, Ganguly had a piece of advice for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men.
