Saurav Ganguly Biography
Saurav Chandidas Ganguly
(first name also spelt Sourav)
(born 8 July 1972, in Calcutta,
West Bengal) is the captain of
Indian national cricket team. He
is ambidextrous, a left-handed
batsman and a right-handed
bowler.
He made his ODI debut in 1992
but his talent was noticed in
India's 1996 tour of England
when he scored centuries in
both innings of his debut test
match (an third test of the
series). He became only the third
cricketer ever to score a century
in his first two innings after
Lawrence Rowe and Alvin
Kallicharan. He scored 183
against Sri Lanka at Taunton in
the 1999 cricket World Cup, the
highest by an Indian in World
Cup cricket.
His record is good both in test
and one-day cricket: 11 centuries
in tests and 22 in one-dayers at
an average of around 42 in both.
He has scored over 9,000 runs in
one-dayers. At the first class
level as well as in List A limited
overs cricket, he has scored over
10,000 runs with 19 first class
centuries. (He has scored more
centuries at the international
level than in domestic cricket.)
He scored 7 ODI centuries in the
year 2000.
With Sachin Tendulkar, he
formed what was arguably the
most successful opening pair
ever in one-day cricket. This pair
has the highest number of
century partnership (16) for the
first wicket. They together have
scored 5621 runs at an average
of 49.30. His position as opener
has now been replaced by
Virender Sehwag. He is known
for hitting the "big sixes". He is
also a useful extra bowler as a
medium pacer.
Ganguly's record as captain is
outstanding. Numerically, he has
more test wins to his credit than
any other Indian captain. He is
the only Indian Captian to win
both the One Day and Test
Series in Pakistan Soil. More
importantly, he has been
credited with transforming the
Indian players into a vibrant
team with an excellent team
spirit.
On the other hand, he is a
temperamental player and has
often attracted controversy. He is
religious, and, some
commentators have suggested,
also superstitious. It appears that
he makes various decisions —
some trivial, such as the number
on his jersey, and others
important, such as batting
position — based on
numerological considerations.
