Former India captain Sourav Ganguly turns 46 today. Known as 'Dada', Ganguly is remembered as one of the finest captains in world cricket with a distinct style and immense cricketing knowledge.
Often credited for changing the face of Indian cricket - Ganguly is also responsible for giving Indian cricket a plethora of future stars like – Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan and MS Dhoni who went on to make it big at the international arena.
Thus on his special day, his former teammates didn't miss a chance to make the occasion more memorable. Ex-India opener Sehwag who credits Dada for believing in his abilities and resurrecting his career by promoting him to open the innings wrote on Twitter in his familiar witty style: "Step 1-Wake up, blink your eyes twice & dance down the track Step 2-Smash the bowler & at times even spectators(no violence intended) Step 3-Swing not only the ball but also ur hair,bowl ur heart out Step 4-Celebrate like no one’s watching To a wonderful man, #HappyBirthdayDada."
Wishes from other ex-cricketers who played under and with him like Mohammed Kaif, VVS Laxman, Pragyan Ojha and others are continuously pouring in. Let's have a look:
