Sourav Ganguly- Dada of Cricket

Sourav Ganguly is undoubtedly India's one of the greatest captains of all time. He has captained a legendary team, pulled out the talents of many and explored his own abilities and finally, projected a world class player, none other than, he, himself. The Bengal Tiger, as people say, Ganguly has never allowed his voice to go unheard. The man of his words and master of Indian cricket drama, Ganguly's always had many winning entertaining moments on the field and with his witty commentary skills , now he also has mastered the art of bantering, off the field. He is popularly known as 'Dada' with love and respect. But here are seven such incidences that prove that Sourav Ganguly is really the 'Dada' of cricket. 

1) Dada's Dadagiri.


Geoffery Boycott : "You must mention your experience about taking your jersey off and flying it in the air at the Mecca of cricket - Lords. Oh, you naughty boy!"

Sourav Ganguly : "One of your boys also took off his jersey here in Mumbai."

Geoffery Boycott : "Yeah, but Lords is the Mecca of cricket. "

Sourav Ganguly : "Lords is your Mecca and Wankhede is ours. "



2) Do not mess with Dada. You dare not.


"I am just saying, keep away. Don't f*** around."- Sourav Ganguly to Russel Arnold. 

3) The Bengal Tiger's Den. Eden. 


Ravi Shastri : "Shouldn't there be a 'Sourav Ganguly Stand' at Eden Gardens?"

Sourav Ganguly : "The entire ground belongs to me Ravi." 

4) Dada can troll anybody. Even Rahul Dravid was not spared.


Rahul Dravid : "If Ganguly had been a yard quicker and just a little bit fitter, he would have been a match winner."

Sourav Ganguly : "I wish I was Prime Minister of India, I could have done a whole lot of things."

5) Straightforward, on your face.


Ganguly simply said to Mohd. Yousuf to take his time but the umpire should dare not fine him instead because of the delay Yousuf was causing. Talk to the hand Yousuf.

6) Spill those guts.


Rajdeep Sardesai : " Does Greg Chappell owe an apology to Indian cricket? To Sachin Tendulkar, to Sourav Ganguly, to Dravid?"

Sourav Ganguly : "He can call up Tendulkar or Dravid. But he dare not dial my number. If he is hearing this on TV, he dare not call Sourav Ganguly." 

7) Go home kid.


Dada was kind enough to make Stuart Broad realize that he is Stuart Little in front of him.
