Sourabh Ganguly did his ODI debut in 1992 against West Indies and dropped from the team after one series and again he recalled in 1996 for the test series in England.

Sourabh Ganguly nominated for the captaincy at the time when the team was already criticized for match-fixing and Sachin Tendulkar was not available then Sourabh Ganguly take responsibility for the Indian cricket team.

There was a time when Sourabh Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar were the best opening batsman in the 90s. Most of the time they do the partnership for more than 100 runs. Sourabh Ganguly was known for long sixes in cricket.

Sourabh Ganguly had many up/down in his cricket career. Sourabh Ganguly also knows for his arrogance. This also the reason to drop from the Indian team.

Going to tell about one incident when Sourabh Ganguly is known for one of the successful captains of an era
Who changed the view of the audience and keep the faith of the audience in the Indian cricket team.

In 2002 England Team came to play 6 ODI Series. Both teams were leading the series with 3-2. The last match was organized in Mumbai Wankhede stadium. Unfortunately, India loses that match with 5 runs, they needed 11 runs in the last over. After winning the match Andrew Flintoff off his jersey and celebrate the winning. The way he celebrates teased to Indian cricket team and fans.

Then the Indian team went to England tour for the Natwest series and the team win the series under Ganguly captaincy. Ganguly also celebrates the winning in the same way Andrew Flintoff did in Wankhede stadium. From the time he was regarded as the best captain of the Indian cricket team.

After this winning Indian team had a new phase where the Indian team wins many series.

Why I like him:-
There are many reasons why I like him from my childhood but going to tell in brief. Sourabh Ganguly the only man who always gives chance to youngsters. The team played in the 2011 world cup. That was the Ganguly team and Dhoni inherits the same team.

Whenever any opponent team argues with his teammates always he came forward and give protects them. Sourabh Ganguly always takes care of the team but no one cares about him.

I remember when Chappel was the coach of the Indian cricket team and he destroyed everything in the team. Because of him Sourabh Ganguly's career also about to end and he was already out of the team. But lately recalled him for test inning the Ganguly only stand one end and another ending one by one wicket getting down.

Ganguly never loses hope and always did come back to the team. Now he is the head of the BCCI Cricket Board. My All-time favorite Captain.

That's all from my side Thank you @supunchandra to organized this contest
