Born on July 8, 1972, Ganguly hails from Kolkata, Bengal and since he bursting onto the scene with his ODI debut for India in 1992, Ganguly ensured that he left no stone unturned in a glorious career. Since then, the southpaw has always delivered on field with his performances till he retired in October, 2008. Ganguly led a side which consisted of India's greatest and with them he created a new evolution in Indian cricket. His tenure as captain has to be one of the greatest periods in Indian cricket history where he led India to various victories around the world. Dada, as fondly known by all, has played 113 Tests which includes 16 centuries along with a double ton. He is also amongst the few Indian cricketers who have crossed the 10K run-mark in One Day cricket. He has 22 ODI centuries to his name. The 2002 NatWest series against England at Lord's will one of the most memorable victories for Ganguly when he took off and flung his jersey around in glee at the Lord's stands.
