Birthday Special: These records made Sourav Ganguly’s ‘grandfather’ of cricket

Sourav Ganguly was such a player who, when on the crease, the fans used to expect the biggest shots of the game and the highest runs, that is, sixes. Only after spending a little on Dad’s crease, the fans in the stalls started demanding sixeen from grandfather in one voice. Cricket lovers still remember the classic shots delivering the ball out of boundaries against Ganguly’s exit from the crease. Dear fans of Indian fans, today they are 46 years old. His fans gave him names like ‘God of Offsaid’, ‘Prince of Kolkata’, ‘Bengal Tiger’ and ‘Dada’. Let me tell you that Ganguly was born on July 8, 1972 in Kolkata. Today on Dada’s birthday we are going to tell you some of his unique records.
