He was appointed Captain of the Indian team immediately after the World Cup. In the immediate next series in the 2000 Champions Trophy he scored 2 centuries.
Also during his captaincy for the 2003 World Cup final against Australia, Ganguly after winning the toss decided to field. The decision of fielding first had raised questions in the minds of the people. But Sourav was confident and backed his call of fielding first. According to Sourav there would have been moisture on the pitch that would have helped his bowlers. But his bowlers bowled very badly and also the captain batted very poorly. India lost the match my a big margin of 125 runs.

Ganguly - Chappel Relationships Improve
The difference of opinion between Ganguly and coach Greg Chappel is now a history. Sourav Ganguly has also forgotten about it. “I have good relationships with Greg Chappel” are the words when Ganguly spoke to some of the reporters.
Staying out of the Indian team for a whole year has made Ganguly change his attitude towards his way of playing cricket. He is now scoring runs and has gain confidence. Even team Indian wants him to play at his best and score runs and make India victorious.
Ganguly does not think that keeping away from cricket has helped him score runs. According to him he was out of form and now the form has returned. And so has he.

Sehwag and West Indies - A fiasco
In their final warm up match against the West Indies, India alongwith Ajit Agarkar, Munaf Patel and Irfan Pathan bowled out the opposing team for a mere total of 85 runs. But Sehwag was a big diappointment. Powel showed Sehwag the way to the pavilion without giving him a chance to open his run account.
The Indian bowling was great. At the start itself, Agarkar took the wicket of Cris Gayle and then Zaheer Khan took the wicket of Chanderpaul. Both were caught behind by Dhoni. After that Munaf Patel and Irfan Pathan were the two who continued taking wickets one after the other. Lara scored 22 which was the highest score for West Indies.
Munaf Patel bowled a very good spell by giving only 10 runs and taking 4 wickets while Pathan supported him by taking 3 wickets and giving only 25 runs.
Now it was to see how soon India reaches the small total of 85 runs posted by West Indies. Sehwag was a big disappointment but then the two Indian youngsters Dinesh Kartik and Robin Utappa sailed India to a victory in about 20 overs or so.

India-West Indies Warmup Match
Today India will be playing a warmup match with West Indies. This is their second warmup match after defeating Netherlands.
In other warmup matches Australia will be playing with England, Pakistan with South Africa and NewZealand with SriLanka. But the India-West Indies match is going to be the most interesting one. Because the hosting country will be playing it. The team has to create a strategy to play on medium pace wickets in West Indies. Such wickets are a test for both, batsman and bowlers.
In the first warmup match, Indian batsman played very well and we expect them to play the same in this second warmup match. India has lots of hope on Sehwag and hence he has to prove himself. Also Robin Utthapa and Dinesh Karthik have to prove their batting. The good thing for India is that Yuvraj is bowling very well these days and he is a good bowler to be used in the middle overs.
West Indies also expects Sarvan to play very well. Against Kenya Sarvan did not get a chance to show his talent. All other matches would also be interesting. Australia will get a chance to defeat England and take revenge of their loss. NewZealand will also try to Match the SriLankan team after their defeat against Bangladesh in their opening warmup match.

World Cup in India
Still one week left for the challenge for India winning this World Cup. But the ICC World Cup has reached India. The fan in K0lkatta gathered to see this trophy but the gold ring at the bottom had some defects and so there was chaos at the Metro tower.
LG Electronics, Global partner of the ICC World Cup had organise this prestigious event. Whether this is a replica of the original World Cup or not, the organisers confirmed that the trophy had been bought to Kolkatta from Delhi and will be going to Mumbai before it reaches West Indies.
