Former fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad may have represented India in not more than 33 Tests, but he holds the record for being India's fifth-highest ODI wicket-taker by a fast bowler. From his debut in 1994 to his last match for India, Prasad wasn't exactly in it for the long haul, but remained an important member of the Indian team. He started his career under the captaincy of Mohammad Azharuddin and finished under Sourav Ganguly, while playing under Sachin Tendulkar as well during his two stints as captain of the Indian team. In a chat with The Grade Cricketer Podcast, Prasad was asked to name the best captain he played under, and the former India fast bowler was forthright in his answer. The captaincy shifted between Azharuddin and Tendulkar once more, before finally, in the year 2000, Ganguly was named the new India skipper.
