Profile

Sourav Ganguly is a former Indian international cricketer and a cricket commentator, who was appointed as the President of the Cricket Association of Bengal recently. Ganguly was a top-order batsman and occasionally bowled as a right-armed medium bowler.

He has served the Indian team as a captain for several years and established himself as one of the greatest captains of India in the history of cricket. He played for the national team of India from 1992 to 2008 and ascertained him as one of the world’s leading batsman of all-time with his scores. His effectual performance and clever tactics not only made him an intelligent squad-leader but also, an impactful person who is selected for several prestigious posts in Indian cricket.

He started his cricket career with his school cricket team and played for a few interstate matches, before making his international debut. His domestic career gave him some brilliant experiences in Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy, etc. tournaments, which helped him in his international career later.

Ganguly made his international debut through an ODI match in 1992 and test debut in 1996. His remarkable career graph soon placed him as one of the most successful Indian batsmen of all-time, especially in the ODI format. His cunning captaincy skills awarded him as one of the most victorious leaders of Indian cricket as well. He is skilled in the offside in the crease which earned him the title of ‘God of Offside’.

In addition, his powerful shots with the brilliant ease of on front gave him huge appreciation from world cricket. He is currently regarded as the 8th best batsman amidst highest run-scorer in the world cricket, just after Sachin Tendulkar by ICC.

Currently, the Prince of Calcutta is the 39th President of The Board of Control for Cricket in India.
