Dada crosses Chequered flag

The day 10 Nov 2008 will be remembered for number of reasons. India beat Australia 2-0 fair and sqare.But one reason that will stand out will be the end of a legend, fighter and the person who made Indian cricket what it is today. Dada none other than Sourav Ganguly took field for the last time. His leadership, aggression, grit, determination is not very often seen. Probably that made him the legend he is today.
This guy has seen everything. He was unstoppable and probably the most dangerous batsmen in his prime.

He took over Indian team during the times of turmoil. He led from the front. Backed the team to the fullest. Single Handedly built the Indian team. Taught India to play fearless cricket and has taken Indian cricket another level. heads off the Dada.

After enjoying such highs in cricket. He was stripped of his captaincy. Soon he was stripped off his place in the side. Everybody wrote him off. For a second even I thought his career was over. But Dada showed how much grit and determinination he had to come back. He cake back and came back in style. Now after performing and serving Indian cricket for 13 years today 10 Nov 2008 he has said sayonara to Indian cricket. The best thing for me is he is going on his own terms.

It's not the time to be sad about Dada's exit. It's time to celebrate a fantastic career. It's time to support Dada who has taken such a tough decision.

Heads off to Dada. You are an Inspiration for the future of India cricket.
