Indian cricket history is replete with Ganguly’s contributions. It was at once his biggest fear and biggest love to play for the team during one period of his playing days. The most noteworthy aspect of his captaincy tenure has to be the history that was written. He is most remembered for what he did as a captain in guiding a young team to success, not his proficiency on the offside or his prolific partnership with Sachin in ODIs.

During the tumultuous days following the match-fixing scandal, he brought together Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, and Anil Kumble to form a team that would be formidable at home and more than competitive overseas. India’s admirable display in away tours resulted from his relationship with John Wright, the first foreign coach to coach India.

A key component of Ganguly’s approach was to show courage and to lead by example. As a result of his ability to get under opponents’ skin, Ganguly earned quite a few calls into the match referee’s cabin. However, he stayed steadfast and maintained that the attitude helped India grow. The performances he put up on the field matched his actions. The 2003 World Cup final was the most successful tournament of his career.

Though he had a successful captaincy career, his batting form deteriorated. In 1996, Ganguly dominated the English cricket world with several hundred-plus scores. He then began opening the innings in ODIs with Sachin Tendulkar. They formed the most dangerous opening partnership ever in ODI cricket, but their success in the shorter format didn’t translate similarly to the longer format.

Bowlers and captains worldwide picked up Ganguly’s deficiency against short-pitched bowling, and he was labored over by the bowlers in the longer format. His troubles were beginning, however.

Greg Chappell became India’s coach in 2005 after John Wright stepped down. The two opinionated people began to have a strained relationship over time. Media outlets made Chappell’s dismissive mail to the BCCI regarding the then-captain’s leadership abilities public.

The senior members of the team had to calm down the hurt Ganguly so that he could continue on tour. The poor form of his batting didn’t help either, and Ganguly received little public support. In the last two years, he hadn’t scored much. Ganguly’s long-drawn-out drama finally ended when Dravid was named Ganguly’s successor and Ganguly was dropped from India’s national team.

He was on and off in the team throughout the season but failed to secure a permanent spot. He was recalled to a team in 2006 that had just exited the Champions trophy humiliatingly after losing to Australia.

As an ex-captain and returning to the game after a long break, Ganguly was desperate for runs that could restore his reputation. As the highest run-scorer in the series, he batted calmly. In 2007, he was ranked as the second-highest run-getter behind Jacques Kallis in the ODIs. Following a Man of the Series win against Sri Lanka, he improved in ODIs too.

A series of two-day tests in Bangalore also saw Ganguly set a career-high of 239 points against Pakistan. However, these performances did not earn him a spot in the CB series in Australia in 2008, as the selectors chose a young, dynamic team. The selectors went for a young team with an eye to the future in the 2008 CBC series in Australia when he was not selected. In the Sri Lanka series, he failed to produce big scores, and his inclusion in Australia’s tour was once again questioned.

In response to the questions, Ganguly retired after his final series in Australia. In an emotional farewell, the captain MS Dhoni handed over his captaincy during his last Test match in Nagpur, in 2008.

Ganguly’s waving of his shirt on the Lord’s balcony during his playing days, his coming late for the toss, etc., attracted attention. In 2004, he received the Padma Shri award, which ranks as one of the highest civilian honors in India. In 2004, he received the Padma Shri award, which ranks as one of the highest civilian honors in India.

Even after retiring from playing, he remains an active player on the domestic circuit and plays both in the Ranji Trophy and the IPL successfully until 2012.

Affairs and Marriage

Dona Ganguly and Sourav Ganguly have a love story that deserves to be written. I would like to share some details about Ganguly’s personal life and his twenty-year relationship with his wife. During their childhood, Sourav Ganguly and his wife Dona Ganguly were neighbors.

Although the relationship between the two families was not as good as it could have been, Ganguly and Dona still developed a strong affection for one another. The friendship between the two eventually developed into love.

Not many are aware that Dona Ganguly, Sourav Ganguly’s wife, is an Indian Odissi dancer. In 1997, she eloped with and married her childhood friend Ganguly. In a 1996 report by Zee News, Ganguly proposed to Dona before leaving for England.

In August 1996, the two were legally married in court. In the beginning, their families were unaware of the marriage. The couple was married again, following proper rituals and family blessings a year after their court marriage.

Controversies surrounding Sourav Ganguly

sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
  • During that tour Down Under, Ganguly was accused of refusing to carry drinks, a role reserved for benched players. Ganguly denied these allegations years later. In a recent interview, Rediff quoted him as saying, “I am not sure where this story has come from. In 1992, we had a manager with us on the trip to Australia, Mr. Ranbir Singh. He is probably the worst person I have ever met. Our long tours to India have been hampered by managers like him. A shame for Indian cricket, a shame for the country.”
  • In one account, he allegedly handed his sweater to teammate Michael Atherton so he could carry it beyond the boundary as a display of “princely behavior.” Others were purported to have carried the kit bag he had expected others to carry.
  • In early 2001, several rumors regarding Ganguly’s relationship with actress Nagma began to circulate as India prepared for their home series against Australia. They performed a puja designed for married couples at a South Indian temple. In the face of these circumstances, Dona Ganguly stood by her husband, telling Sify, “This is rubbish.”. As a result of the way some newspapers have smeared us, I am extremely angry. Sourav’s unfortunate to be the victim of such things.”
  • He turned up late for a toss with Steve Waugh.
  • Mike Denness came down hard on the Indian players at the second Test against South Africa in 2001 played at Port Elizabeth. In addition to being charged with ball-tampering, Tendulkar received a suspension for failing to maintain control of his players on the field. Shiv Sunder Das, Deep Dasgupta, Harbhajan Singh, and Virender Sehwag were also suspended for over-appealing. After some off-the-wall media and government backlash, only Sehwag was allowed to serve his ban. It is evident that the Indian team, although Ganguly escaped, was gradually adopting Ganguly’s style of play and not being meek anymore.
  • What sort of person would dare to perform such a feat on the hallowed turf of Lord’s? Would anyone dare to strip off to reveal their upper bodies, then wave their shirts in celebration? Ganguly did just that in 2002. Ganguly’s team celebrated the NatWest series victory by removing his shirt on the Lord’s balcony as he waved it as his team chased down 326 runs.
  • The Indian team management changed in 2005 as coach Greg Chappell took over from John Wright. During Ganguly’s tough run at the crease, pressure mounted. He was told quite frankly by Chappell during Zimbabwe’s tour that captaincy was perhaps affecting his performance as a batsman, negatively affecting the team. He revealed later that he had been asked to resign after hitting a difficult hundred in the first Test. Greg Chappell’s email to the board detailed a saga of disagreements between himself and Ganguly.
  • It snowballed into a big affair. As a result of the tour, Ganguly was dismissed from the one-day squad and was cut from the captaincy. As a result of the tour, Ganguly was dismissed from the one-day squad and was cut from the captaincy. After nearly a Year on the sidelines, he regained his spot. It remains one of the tensest times in Indian cricket. During the ODI against a Dravid-led Indian team, fans in Kolkata were not pleased with this and cheered for the South Africans. After being knocked out of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 first, the Chappell era ended in disgrace.
