Well I had to have a post on "Prince of Kolkata" as that was the least that I could do for this great legend. I never felt sad about Kumble's retirement.But when Ganguly started walking for the last time to take guard in the international arena , an instinct made me realize that I am going to miss something that I had been enjoying for the past 10 yrs in my life. Who could forget the act of him taking off his shirt at the Home of Cricket and defending the same when questioned by the English media. He was most aggressive captain India has ever had who taught what it takes to win tests abroad. Statistics has its own part to play boasting of his success, but it is his personality that made him unique.
Few of his great achievements:
Led India to World Cup Finals in 2003
Demoralised Srilankan bowlers including Vaas and Muralidharan at Taunton
Led India to Natwest Trophy at Lords
Led India to a Test match victory after a long time in West Indies
Broke Australians continous streak of victory in tests at Kolkata and many more not to forget that he started as captain after the match fixing scandal. To come out with flying colours after such an instance is a great achievement as everyone would agree. We will miss you towering sixes for sure.
Hail Dada .... ! India will always miss you ... :(
Had he scored in the leg side,he would have broken all the batting records.... :)

He got the ATTITUDE to Indian Side!!!
Instead of being a pawn in selector's hand, i am glad he made the decision now rather than been shown the door!
I remember him always for what he did in LORDS :)
