However, the left-hander reiterated that five-day cricket remained the true test of a player's abilities.
"This is entertainment, but involves a lot of travelling. The real cricket is Test cricket," he said.
On his own side Kolkata Knight Riders and its owner Shah Rukh Khan, Ganguly said the Bollywood star was deeply involved with the running of the team.
"He is very involved with the team. I know him well since 2003, when he was operated for his back. Our whole team likes him very much and he motivates us a lot," he said.
Ganguly, who rose to prominence as an opener alongside Sachin Tendulkar, said the Mumbai batsman still remains his favourite as an opening partner.
"I like to open with Sachin Tendulkar. I have played with him for many years. Even Sehwag is a great player but if you ask me for my best choice that would be Sachin. He has the capabilities of winning the match," he explained.
Asked who were his best mates in the Indian team, Ganguly named his contemporaries as the closest to him.
"All are my good friends. I have good friendship with Sachin, (Rahul) Dravid, (Virender) Sehwag, (Anil) Kumble and Harbhajan," he said. |
