This player had started his carreer in the year 1992 where he was just given a few chance after that he was out of the team.But afterwards he set a half century as a opener with Sachin,which opened his luck.The opening partnership between the two was one of the finest,toughest and the most exciting pairs in the world.One was the GOD OF THE CRICKET and the other was known as the GOD OF THE OFFSIDE as anything you deliver to his offside he will tear the ball and the ball will go crossing all the players in offside.Nobody knew that this player who was once neglected by the selection comittee can become the savior of the Indian Cricket when India was really struggling with the opening pair in ODI's.
It was the year 2000 when under Sachin's captaincy India lost to Aussies and South Africa.Ard 5-6 matches they had lost in a row. Sachin stepped down from the captaincy and Indian team was again in a state of great dillema that who will be the next captain .Even Rahul Dravid was given the chance but how a player who is the wall of indian side can stress his mind in batting,wicket keeping and a captain.He did his job but success was not achieving as it should be.
Then came Sourav Ganguly. He was elected as the Indian Captain to succeed Sachin Tendulkar when he stepped down from the captainship. Sourav played with three ex captains (Azahar, Jadeja and Sachin) and even senior players like (Srinath, Venkatesh and Kumble) he managed it all beautifully well and won the ODI series against SA by 3-2.Then a great threat came to India regarding the match fixing scandal.Many senior players were asked to leave the team.Then again with the kiwi coach John Wright, Sourav rebuilt the Indian cricket team and changed it into TEAM INDIA which was known for its never say die attitude. Sourav fought with selectors for youngsters like Yuvi, Bhajji,Kaif, Veeru for their positions in the team. Sourav lead this TEAM INDIA to the finals of two ICC Championships and then finally to the WORLD CUP-2003 finals.Many of the cricket experts declared the team leaded by DADA as one of the finest team in the whole world.
In the year 2006 he was again kept out of the side due to his non-cricketing stuffs.The young Indian team set a record of continuous 17 wins . Everybody forgot Sourav at that time as the team was doing great. But again most of those wins were in Indian Subcontinent. But true picture of the Indian Cricket Team became clear when they had to play outside the subcontinent. Continuous defeats was there in home and outside. Again Indian Cricket needed someone to save them and then again Sourav was called back. And as a result India again started winning .
He was insulted again and again by the cricket board, he was dropped again and again due to his non criceketing stuffs but still it was always Sourav Ganguly who brought the glories to Indian Cricket.Again he had been out of the Irani Trophy and many matches.He was the SAVIOUR of the Indian Cricket Team.
