Congress guarantees reviving Scheduled Caste Plan, tribal Sub-Plan: Kharge
"Congress guarantees to revive the Scheduled Caste Plan and the Tribal Sub-Plan and implement it by law," he added.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said on Friday that modern-day Test openers are always on the edge if they fail to score at a brisk pace because of Virender Sehwag and Matthew Hayden — who started the trend.
quot;You look at modern-day openers who are criticised for not getting runs quickly. It was all started by Virender Sehwag and Mathew Hayden. To a certain extent even Justin Langer but in Tests these two changed the definition of battingquot; Ganguly told a talk show arranged to commemorate India’s 500 Tests.nbsp;
India played the 500th Test match in Kanpur where they decimated New Zealand by 197 runs.

quot;We were chasing 325 in England Natwest Series final 2002 and I remember Viru whistling down the staircase. When I used to walk in to bat with him I used to say ‘thoda sa defend karle tu century banayega defend initially you’ll get a big score. But then I thought it is best to let players express themselvesquot; Ganguly recalled.
To that Sehwag waxed eloquent about his captain saying a successful player has to have a successful skipper to back him.
quot;I never had fear because my captain Ganguly would always back me. I also knew that the batsmen after me were all great. The likes of Rahul Dravid Sachin Tendulkar Sourav Ganguly VVS Laxman M.S. Dhoni were there so I could relaxquot; Sehwag said.
quot;I remember when I went to England I was going through a rough patch. Sourav then walked up to me and said he is with me come what may and that I won’t be dropped. Certain captains back certain players. You need that backing.quot;
