Sourav Ganguly

India Cricket Live Victory in Pakistan - India's first away from home in 11 years - made Sourav Ganguly India's most successful Test captain ever, completing a remarkable turnaround for a man who was summarily jettisoned after playing only a bit-part role on his first tour of Australia in 1991-92. And it was in Australia that his leadership scaled new heights a dozen years later, as a brilliant century in the opening Test at Brisbane set the tone for a series - Steve Waugh's last - where India fought the world's best team to a standstill. Ganguly combines amazing grace and surgical precision in his strokeplay, especially on the off side, but his career had spluttered to a standstill before being resurrected by a scintillating hundred on debut at Lord's in 1996. When he took over the captaincy after the match-fixing exposes in 2000, he quickly proved to be a tough, intuitive and uncompromising leader, traits best illustrated in the historic series against Australia in 2001, when he made light of personal travails to lead India to a famous victory. Under his stewardship, with John Wright providing inputs off the field, India started winning Test matches away, and put together a splendid eight-match winning streak that took them all the way to the World Cup final in 2003. Despite having been his team's most consistent one-day batsmen over the previous three seasons, he also relinquished the opening slot to accomodate Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar, and several gutsy efforts in Test cricket were none-too-subtle reminders to critics who insisted that he was deeply vulnerable against the short ball. Effective with his medium-pace on seaming tracks, Ganguly will most be remembered though for having forged a winning unit from a bunch of talented, but directionless, individuals.
