India captain Kohli has been rested for the T20I series and Rohit will lead the men-in-blue in his absence. However, the most unexpected change was the exclusion of wicketkeeper-batsman Dhoni.
Kohli notched up his 37th ODI hundred as he fired 157 off 129 balls to help India post a competitive 321/6 against West Indies in the second ODI of the five-match series in Vizag.
Overall, Kohli is the 13th cricketer and only the fifth Indian to go past the 10,000-run barrier.
In an exclusive interview with IndiaTV, Ganguly feels Dhoni needs to start scoring runs and the 2nd ODI at Vishakapatnam can be a turning point for the former captain.
Comparing Kohli with the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar, Ganguly claimed that the current showstopper acts as an inspiration to his teammates.
Watching India's easy win over the underdogs, Ganguly predicted that it won't be difficult for the men-in-blue to seal the five-match series too.
India are slated to play five ODIs against the Caribbean side and that means that the explosive batsman just needs 186 runs in these five matches to overtake his idol, Tendulkar.
Warne also said how his poor record in Tests in India as compared to other countries does not affect him.
With the series in Australia coming later this year, Ganguly said Shaw would do well there as the young player is a solid back-foot player.
About 30,000 tickets from Eden's capacity of 67,000 are distributed as complimentary passes including to government agencies like Kolkata Police, the Corporation and Fire brigade.
The inform cricketer was not selected for the Test squad against England and now a home series against Windies.
The 46-year-old, one of India's most successful captains, said "man management" is one of the key qualities a coach should possess.
Ganguly further applauded Ahmed's captaincy during the 2017 Champions Trophy saying that it was impeccable.
Ganguly was miffed that a player of Rahul's calibre was being made to sit out games when he should be playing as much cricket as he can as he is so young and talented at the moment.
After completing an almost three-month-long tour of England the Indian team has been thrust into UAE without proper rest or preparation time.
