Former India captain and BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, who is celebrating his 49th birthday on Thursday. He is also known for his tactical decisions that have helped Indian cricket over the years.
Former players including Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman, Suresh Raina, Wasim Jaffer, Pragyan Ojha, Mohammad Kaif, and several others wished Ganguly by posting messages on social media.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) along with many Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises also wished Ganguly. His birthday comes a day after another former Indian captain, MS Dhoni, celebrated his birthday.
Sehwag wished Dada in his own unique style as he wrote, “Few could match Dada ka Junoon, Dada ka Iraada. May you be in good health and spirits always Dada. #HappyBirthdayDada.”
Another masterstroke that Ganguly played was picking a young MS Dhoni into the national side after just one successful India A series in Kenya.
The selection surprised everyone but that wasn’t the end of out-of-nowhere decisions. When Dhoni failed to click with the bat initially, Ganguly decided to promote the Jharkhand-born batsman at No.3. Dhoni hammered 148 during an ODI in 2005 against Pakistan and Vizag and since then, he looked onward and upward.
