Description
The story of Sourav Ganguly, the skipper of the Indian cricket team, is one full of the myriad shades of life itself, in fact it has all the ingredients of a well-made potboiler. He is the quintessential hero.
Blessed with tremendous intelligence, he channelised it into everything: be it teaching a lesson to all those who dared to complain against him to his mother or pick up the finer points of every sport that he ever dabbled in. Prodigiously talented, it is his dedication to the game coupled with a never-say-die spirit that has earned him an enviable position in the world of cricket.
Sourav also possesses indomitable will, for he braved all opposition to win the woman of his dreams. A born leader – his boys swear by his ability to develop strategies and lead by example-a good son and a loyal friend.
Here’s Sourav Ganguly in all his avatars.
