1. Ganguly became captain in the year 2000. We , , saw him developing team India and India started winning against teams like Australia, , England etc. His style of captaincy was such: he is very convinced about what he has to do and there are no half measures. On October , ; 11th, 2002, against West Indies. he made a bold and unusual decision in the morning. Nine out of 10 captains would have opted to begin with , a seamer and spinner: the ball was just 14 overs old and the conditions were a touch overcast. Besides, if at all there was going to be , help at all for the seamers, it would have been in the morning. Zaheer Khan would have been the natural choice. Yet Ganguly started with , , Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. Then he brought on Javagal Srinath ahead of Zaheer Khan as the first change. Dada was a captain with highest level of maturity and cricketing , brain. , , , //

2. India had a tough and bad tour in New Zealand, just before the ICC , , world cup of 2003. The moral of - ! the team was at the bottom and , , all of us had serious doubts wraper whether India could make to quarterfinals even. The , , conditions of the venues of South Africa have never been favorable , , to the teams of Indian subcontinent. But Dada knew how to rejuvenate the spirits of, , the players and drive the , ! momentum up for the team.. This, , was written in in the context of our , the fans moral boosting. , , Later, India went to Finals , TV , //

3. Ganguly was suspended for four matches for slow overrate. During this time, Ganguly was not chosen for Asia XI for Afro-Asia cup. The two main selectors who rejected Ganguly were Majid, Khan and Ravi Shastri. After four-match ban, upon return, Ganguly scored a fifty and reached , , the landmark of scoring 10,000 runs in One-Day Internationals. He was the 2nd man after Sachin to reach this milestone and he has been the fastest to reach this milestone. , ! , ! ?, , , //

4. After the Zimbabwe tour, the Ganguly- , , Chappell saga became more prominent and public. Their relationship became further , , bitter and finally, Ganguly became the scapegoat of the politics and was dropped from the Team. India started fearing the pace attack of South Africa on green tops in , South Africa. Ganguly was then recalled after 10 month layoff. We all hoped and prayed , , for his success and a great comeback. , ? , , , , , --- //

5. Dada after being recalled, played the practice match in Potchefstroom. The opponent had budding Morkel , ! who was bowling with fire then. Ganguly played extremely well and saved the touring Indian team with a gritty of knock of 141-ball and scoring over 80 runs. , By this, he gave a solid reply to Greg and Selectors on his layoff. However, this was not a Test Match. We prayed Ganguly keep his mouth shut. He should focus fake on his batting and do well in the test series. - , ! , ! -------- //

6. Ganguly was victim of politics of BCCI. The architects for his ouster were Greg , the coach, and More, the chief the selection committee of ton ? the Indian team. His comeback story is a ton! fairytale. He by shear performance proved that , , he was dropped not for any cricketing reasons. - We expected that BCCI should apologize for snatching away one year of cricket from this great cricketer. It was a sin and for which, Mr , ; Greg and More should been penalized and ! reprimanded. " ", , BCCI? ? , , ------ //
