Bye Bye Saurav Chandidass Ganguly!


Farewell to Prince!!

Saurav Ganguly, popularly known as Prince of Kolkata, Dada (big brother), or Maharaj (King), or Bengal Tiger, has played the last day of international cricket today. With this one golden era came to an end.

I am not that hard core fan of prince but no one can underestimate Saurav Ganguly in Indian cricket. He is noted as most successful Indian Captain till date, he is legend that creates fear in opponents mind whether he was batting , bowling or team was playing under his captaincy. Even critic like me who usually fight with friends about his declining performance appreciate One thing is for sure, he was a giant. The ability of Dada to come out from the difficult situations in life and in cricket ground was superb.

He start his career with test century against England at Mecca of cricket: LORDS. He was many times in news for discrimantory decisions by BCCI for his position in team India, but he always have an urge to fight back. Coach of Ganguly said : Indian got indepence 60 years back but cricket in India got free only at NETWEST trophy when Ganguly putoff his shirt from balcony of Lords. This was Ganguly who never give up .
Once a advertisement was there on TV : Kanhi Aap mujhe Bhool to Nahi Gaye? That I laughed a lot about that silly Ad, but Today I can say that No one who even know ABCD of cricket can never forget this great man of acumen and always bring pride for India. Prince you will remain always in our heart and I hope even after your retirement you will continue to give your best to Indian Cricket...

Long Live Dada!!
