A Unique Personality
Long Fellow had once said –
“In the World ‘s broad field of battle
In the bivouac of life ,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle
Be a hero in the strife”
-( A Psalm of life)
From the very childhood I am very much fond of playing cricket. In fact I got the inspiration from the renowned Bengali cricketer Mr. Sourav Ganguly. Being a bengali I have a special soft corner for him. We all know him as the former captain of the Indian National Cricket team. But in general he is famous in the name of “Dada” or “Maharaja-the Prince of Calcutta” to us. This famous personality was born on 8th July 1972 at Behala, Kolkata. His father was Sri Chandidas Ganguly and mother was Nirupa Ganguly. He lives in Kolkata with his other family members. Dona Ganguly , the famous Odissi dancer is his wife. They have a beautiful daughter ,named Sana Ganguly. Sourav Ganguly was a left handed batsman and right handed mideum pace baller.He was too a former BCCI president (2019-22). He got the inspiration to become a cricketer from his elder brother Mr. Snehasish Ganguly, who used to represent Bengal as a cricketer. He represented India in near about 311 ODI matches, out of which he gave his excellency as a captain in 84 matches. He made his debut in Test cricket in the year 1996 against England. He played near about 113 test match. He made his ODI debut in the year 1992 against West Indies. He stands in the ninth position in the whole world for most runs scored in the ODI matches after scoring 11363 runs. Wisden Cricketer’ Almanac ranked him sixth among all greatest ODI batsman in the year 2002. He too scored 7212 matches in Test cricket. Though he was not a regular baller still took 32 wickets in Test series and 100 in ODI matches. After Sachin Tendulkar and Inzamam Ul Haq he is the third batsman who crosses 10,000runs in ODI cricket. He was honoured with Padmasri in the year 2004 and Banga Vibhushan by West Bengal Government in the year 2013. He announced his retirement from international cricket in the year 2008 and from all kinds of cricket in the year 2012. His leadership quality, his management,his concentration and focus not only for his work but towards life inspire me in all way.
