The International Cricket Council (ICC) will induct former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly into its Hall of Fame. RevSportz Global publishes its reports on the day of his 54th birthday.
The left-handed batter’s induction into the ICC Hall of Fame was long overdue given his outstanding international career as a player and captain. The legend, who was born in Kolkata, went on to score 11,363 runs from 311 One Day International (ODI) matches and 7,212 runs in Test cricket, where he played more than 100 times in the longest format of the game.
Sourav Ganguly is regarded by many as one of the best Indian captains of the twenty-first century.
A Test series victory in Pakistan in 2004, series draws in England and Australia, and leading the ODI team to the 2003 World Cup final in South Africa were among the notable moments that resulted from his transformation of the team’s mentality toward the game.
As of right now, Sourav Ganguly will only be the 12th person in the country overall and the tenth Indian men’s cricket player to be admitted into the ICC Hall of Fame. Other Indians who have already been admitted to the elite club include MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Vinoo Mankad, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Kapil Dev, Bishan Singh Bedi, and Sunil Gavaskar. Neetu David and Diana Edulji are the only Indian female players among the other greats.
The ICC Hall of Fame, which was founded in 2009, recognises the professional accomplishments of cricket heroes who have contributed to the sport’s vast and spectacular history.
It’s crucial to remember that Sourav Ganguly will get more recognition on this historic day than just being inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. Actor Rajkummar Rao offered the first peek of Dada: The Sourav Ganguly Story, a biography on the famed captain, prior to the previously reported assertions. The iconic picture of the southpaw celebrating with his shirt off following India’s victory over England in the NatWest Series final at Lord’s in 2002 is included on the poster.
