Captain courageous

Sourav Ganguly’s tryst with Indian cricket has seen more ups and downs than a drive across the Western Ghats.

He came into the side as a lazy Prince, grew into the Maharaj who believed in treating opposition as the scum of the earth and his own boys as God’s gift to cricket.

Ganguly may have made more enemies than friends and his style of captaincy may have found more detractors than supporters amongst the cricketing fraternity, but his fans and friends couldn’t care less.

He has been the ultimate captain for Indian cricket, a man who made his team believe that the rivals were sent only to be flogged on the field and sometimes off it as well!
