Here is the conversation between Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh:

Harbhajan Singh: What was the difference between you and Sachin Tendulkar, that makes Sachin better?

Sourav Ganguly: See, he used a heavy bat.

Virender Sehwag: But Dada you also had a heavier bat.

Sourav Ganguly – Yes, it used to be heavy but not like Tendulkar.

HS – Dada, was there any difference in the technique or mindset – because other legends have also played alongside him but they could not achieve what Sachin got in his career.

SG – See, he used to have a heavier bat and played on the flat decks in ODI format. He used to open and played decently in his career.
