Saurav Ganguly-The Cindrella Man Of Modern India

Saurav Ganguly- Not many would have expected him to make such a fantastic & one of the best comebacks of recent times.As a die hard fan of DADA, I expected him to make a comeback just like millions of fans across the nation did.


Those who have seen the movie CINDRELLA MAN would relate the movie to Saurav's fantastic comeback. It was a movie about the life of a man who was dumped by his own people & how he won all the odds & again became a champion boxer. The same has happened to DADA too. He was thrown out of the team & it is his sole grit & determination & hardwork that has earned him a place in this team.

An Indian team that was struggling in South Africa was strengthened by the arrival of Saurav for the test series. He smashed an unbeaten half century to script a fantastic comeback. Since then, The PRINCE OF KOLKATA has gone from strength to strength. Then came the ODI series against the WestIndies which saw DADA plundering the Windies bowling attack. He did extremely well in the entire series. Nest came the series against SriLanka which saw DADA win the MAN OF THE SERIES award for his superb performance. The same series saw Saurav Take a blinder of catch to dismiss Sanath Jayasurya At Goa. He proved everyone that he's still fit & has a lot to offer to Indian Cricket. His shot selection was superb & was at his sublime best.

This was enough for DADA to prove everyone that he's still the best man of Indian Cricket & also to make his critics eat humble pie. As expected, The ad agencies made a beeline to him with some of the biggest companies wanting to make him their brand ambassador. One of them being PUMA, The German Apparel Giant.

He was an automatic selection for the ICC CRICKET WORLD CUP in the WestIndies, where he continues his good form. He made a cautious yet steady 66 against Bangladesh.
Millions of fans are hoping that DADA will continue his good run & make BIG runs in the forthcoming matches.

We must salute this champion cricketer for his determination & take a leaf out his book. He is a real tiger & has inspired me throughout my life & will continue to inspire us throughout.

Rahul Dravid once said, "On the off side, first there is god, & then there is Saurav Ganguly".
Its time we change it, "On the off side, there is DADA & no one else".

Hail the ROYAL BENGAL TIGER.

This is my tribute to a man who made his way into the team & carved a niche for himself & a role model for millions in the country.
