Take a Bow - Dada !!!!
" Breaking News !!!! " Sourav Ganguly announces his retirement, well well well the day has finally come when one of the fab four has decided to step down or shall we say has been forced to step down .... i will leave that to you ...
"The god of off side" as he was called by "the wall" has been an inspiration for many and the bad boy of Indian cricket ... But i will always remember him as the man who made the world sit back and notice that Indian cricket had arrived and how .. remember all the bad incidences he was infamous from .. from arriving late for tosses and wasting time on field by slow over rate and the famous shirt waving at the mecca of cricket The lords.... He gave TASHAN to the biggies...
His ability to support young lads like lakhsmi ratan shukla, ritendar sodhi, yuvi, irfan, viru and many more out of which some clicked some not but atleast there was always fresh blood flowing through the Indian Cricket team.. He dared to back young talent while beautifully handling big ol guns like Srinath. Kumble, Sachin, Dravid and Laxman.. there was never an issue of juniors overshadowing seniors or any ego clashes... his leadership and team skills have been a learning for many....
His career has been anything but a steady cruising ship, no one else has made famous come backs and seen lows and highs like him in this game.. from getting dropped after first australia tour coming back in team to score century on debut at lords.. reaching the world cup final .. almost winning a test series in OZ... Spat with greg chappell whereas working like a TEAM with John Wright... the list just goes on ....
There can be a long debate over wether he was really a good player or not , but i think he was the best captain the Indian Cricket team ever had ... With his agression, PR skills and team management techniques i dont think no one else has reached anywhere near what he has done for Indian cricket... SO i will not present a debate on that cause i just want to say for whatever he has done and for his utterly butterly off drives .....
