Ganguly not only bullied, but also gave ‘these 5 Kohinoor diamonds’ to Team India
What about the brilliant batting of Sourav Ganguly, one of the most successful captains in the history of the Indian cricket team. Under the leadership of Ganguly, known as “Dada”, the Indian team won many victories. The ‘Prince of Kolkata’ not only took India to great heights, but also inspired young cricketers with his game.
Ever since Ganguly was on the field, he has been trying to bring in young players. When he was in charge of India, he brought in many young players, who went on to make a name for themselves as well as the country. Today we are going to talk about “5” such players. who started his career under the leadership of Sourav Ganguly, and gained much fame in the future.
Virender Sehwag
Virender Sehwag is considered to be a diamond discovered by Dada himself. Sometimes Veeru used to bat at number 5 or 6. But then Ganguly gave Viru a chance to open, after which he played some innings that made Viru known as the best opening batsman in the world. It is well known that Ganguly supported Viru in his early career, and how much Viru did for the team.
Zaheer Khan
Former Indian cricket team fast bowler Zaheer Khan possessed all such skills, which could take him to great heights in the cricketing world. But every diamond needs a jewel. And Zaheer got it in the form of Jawahira Ganguly. Ganguly not only trusted Zaheer but supported him every step of the way. As a result, Zaheer went on to become the second most successful Indian fast bowler to take the most wickets in Test cricket for India.
Yuvraj Singh
Another great batsman is included in this list. And that great batsman is Yuvraj Singh. In 2000, he also started his career under the leadership of Sourav Ganguly. Yuvraj had made a big name in under-19 cricket. He then played a brilliant knock of 84 against Australia in the “ICC Knockout Trophy”, which saw India reach the final.
Ganguly had a lot of faith in Yuvraj. Due to which Yuvraj improved his performance. In this regard, Yuvraj himself had said in an interview that Ganguly is the best captain among all the captains he has played with so far.
MS Dhoni
Former Indian captain MS Dhoni is considered among the best players in the world today, but all this would not have been possible without Ganguly. Mahi got the opportunity to play for the first time in the Indian cricket team under the leadership of Dada. But at that time, when Dhoni was failing to perform well on the field, Ganguly gave him an opportunity to play at number three against Pakistan.
Ganguly had to fight with the selection committee to select Dhoni in the team against Pakistan. Let us tell you that at that time Dhoni scored a brilliant knock of 148 runs against Pakistan.
Harbhajan Singh (Harbhajan Singh)
Harbhajan Singh, one of the best bowlers in the world, has achieved many feats in the world of cricket, but Bhajji deserves as much credit for the hard work he put in to reach this height. The same credit goes to Ganguly. Harbhajan, known as the “Turbanator” throughout the world, achieved a lot of success during that time.
He took 32 wickets in the 2001 Test series against Australia. Before this series, Ganguly had insisted to the selectors to include Bhajji in the team. Harbhajan himself said this in an interview. If he had not got the support of ‘Dada’, he would not have been able to reach this successful peak.
