Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly is all set to become the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) , and 'Rawalpindi Express' Shoaib Akhtar has praised the decision of the BCCI for appointing Ganguly as the its new Chief.

Akhtar, who played for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) under the captaincy of Ganguly, believes the Prince of Kolkata had transformed Indian cricket during its tough phase besides changing the players' mentality as he has brilliant cricketing knowledge.

"One person that transformed Indian cricket was Sourav Ganguly, never felt before 97-98 that India could beat Pakistan. I never felt India had the system to beat Pakistan until Sourav Ganguly became the captain. Sourav Ganguly changed the mentality of Indian cricket. He had an eye to pick a talent to play for India," Akhtar said in a video on his popular YouTube channel.

It may be mentioned here that Akhtar has transformed into a cricket pundit with his new YouTube channel, with over 1.6 milllion subscribers. His channel was the go-to channel for cricket lovers during the recently-held Cricket World Cup in England that was won by the hosts in a thrilling final encounter with Kiwis New Zealand.
