The International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Hall of Fame will welcome former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly. RevSportz Global publishes its reports on his 54th birthday.
The left-handed batter’s induction into the ICC Hall of Fame was long overdue, considering 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 version of the sport.
Sourav Ganguly is regarded by many as one of the best Indian captains of the 21st century.
Among the noteworthy outcomes of his shift in the squad’s attitude toward the game were a Test series triumph in Pakistan in 2004, series draws in England and Australia, and bringing the ODI team to the 2003 World Cup final in South Africa.
As of right now, Sourav Ganguly will only be the 12th person in the country and the tenth Indian men’s cricket player to be admitted into the ICC Hall of Fame. Other Indians who have already been accepted into the elite group 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 legends.
Established in 2009, the ICC Hall of Fame celebrates the professional achievements of cricket heroes who have made significant contributions to the long and illustrious history of the game.
It’s crucial to remember that Sourav Ganguly will get more recognition on this historic day than just admission to the ICC Hall of Fame. Before the aforementioned assertions, actor Rajkummar Rao gave the first look at Dada: The Sourav Ganguly Story, a biopic of the famous captain. The poster features the famous image of the southpaw celebrating with his shirt off after India defeated England in the 2002 NatWest Series final at Lord’s.
