Other ICC Hall of Famers from India include: MS DhoniVirender Sehwag, Vinoo Mankad, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Bishen Singh Bedi and former Indian women’s captain Diana Edulji.Incidentally, on Wednesday (July 8), which happened to be Ganguly’s 54th birthday, the makers of Ganguly’s ‘Dada’ biopic unveiled the first look of the film, featuring Rajkummar Rao in the titular role. The scene shows Rao twirling his jersey in jubilant celebration after India’s victory in the 2002 NatWest Series final against England at Lord’s. A shirtless Ganguly waving his India jersey before running onto the field remains one of the greatest moments in Indian cricket.Minutes after the poster was unveiled, Ganguly shared it on his social media handle and reacted to RajKummar Rao’s look. Calling it the “best gift ever,” he wrote, “The Best Gift Ever! Can’t wait to see you play my cover drive! @rajkummar_rao.”A famous former Indian skipper and cricketer, Ganguly, who became: BCCI: president and currently the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal, scored 7212 runs in 113 Tests, including 16 centuries and 11363 runs in 311 ODIs, with 22 centuries, while also claiming 132 wickets with his useful medium-pace. Ganguly remains one of the top run-getters in ODI cricket. A force in one-day cricket, he formed a successful opening pair with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.Known as the “God of off-side” for his ability to penetrate the off-side field with his breathtaking cover drives, Ganguly is widely recognized as one of India’s greatest, most brilliant batsmen and captains, even making the great former Australian captain Steve Waugh for the toss during the iconic 2001 Test series!When he took over as India’s captain in 2000, the Indian team was emerging from a dark, murky match-fixing period, perhaps the worst in its history. However, hailed for his aggressive tactics, Ganguly, putting together a string of world-class cricketers like Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman, Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, inspired India to overseas Test victories. Under Ganguly’s leadership, India were joint winners of the ICC Champions Trophy in 2002, reached the 2003 ODI World Cup final in South Africa, squared off in a Test series with England, won a historic Test series against Pakistan in 2004 and ended Australia’s 16-match winning streak in Kolkata in one of the greatest comebacks in Test history.
