'Captain Cool' Dhoni once again lived upto the billing by leading India to ICC Champions Trophy triumph on Sunday.
"Dhoni has been an outstanding captain. His record as captain is terrific. He still has a lot of cricket left in him and he has done wonders to Indian cricket," Ganguly said.
"Dhoni backs players as well. People like (Suresh) Raina, (Ravindra) Jadeja, and Rohit Sharma have developed under him as players and has some terrific qualities as a leader," he was quoted as saying by 'NDTVSports.Com'.

He is young, a terrific ODI player and there is no reason why he won't be captain.
