SIt is an undeniable fact that Sourav Ganguly has been one of the chief architects behind the successful stint of the indian side today. After a series of match-fixing scandals in the late “90s, he took up captaincy and took up the responsibility to renovate the side. Not just that, but his choice of players to suit accordingly to each format of the game was highly applauded by experts in those days. Those were the days when India registered several overseas victories under his captaincy. Who can just forget his shirtless celebration after Natwest series victory, that too at Lord”s?
Fondly called Dada by his fans and teammates, he is celebrating his 47th birthday today. Twitter and several social media platforms are filled with a lot of wishes from fans across the World. Few of them have been posting the quotes he used to say in several presentations. Ganguly is one among the five Indians to post over 10k runs in ODI format of the game. His opening stints with Sachin Tendulkar has a separate significance and a fanbase too.
