Hello friends,
I am a big fan of Sourav Ganguly and my home in Kolkata is just a short drive from his. What I love is his repeated comebacks after being dropped. Just today, we witnessed Sourav Ganguly IPL 4 comeback with Pune Warriors! Is he not awesome?

Dada is really an EPIC cricket player. He’s definitely one of the greatest players during his time or probably considered the best. I’m sure he still brings inspiration to the new players striving to be like him someday…
