Sourav Ganguly shared Sachin would go for shopping every time he scores a century and have a great wardrobe.

He told Sehwag and Matthew Hayden changed the mindset of people on Test cricket with aggressive approach.
Kapil Dev opined Team India lacked the right mindset in the 70s and 80s, even the Cricket Board doesn't have the resources.
