"All the captains had something. The two captains that I played under the longest were Ganguly and Dhoni. Both of them were right (for the job) at the time they led India," said Dravid.
Dravid, who retired from International cricket in March, was speaking at the launch of 'Timeless Steel', a collection of essays and articles about him, published by Disney and compiled by Espncricinfo.
"Ganguly had a passion for the job. He had a desire to win. He was willing to do whatever it took to win.
