Yesterday Sourav Ganguly, fondly called Dada by Indians, called it a day. He is also known as the Prince of Calcutta, an apt name given by Geoffrey Boycott .With an amazing record of over 7000 runs , and probably one of the best captains India ever produced ; at a time when Indian cricket was in the doldrums, it remains to be seen how good shall the Indian captaincy be in the upcoming years .
In his last press release , he was quoted as saying that he was never understood properly . The then Greg Chappell along with Kiran More had used various means to keep him out of the team - an expose of the letter had landed Greg Chappell in trouble. Later Greg Chappell had to quit the Indian coaching, because of the extremely poor performance as a coach. He, Kiran More specially had also become the eyesore to many Indians , for their dismal choice of player choosing. Mr. Chappell have recently come back to India again, and as Sunil Gavaskar rightly puts it, maybe Mr. Chappell has financial reasons to make him back to a country which does not want him ; where as Sourav Ganguly has a flourishing family business in Calcutta.
However, Sourav Ganguly had returned back and showed the critics with his scintilating performance once again.
Dada shall always be in our hearts, as a great captain, an excellent batsman, and a pride of Bengal.
