Former Indian skipper comments on the India vs Pakistan encounter in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly turned 53 today (July 8). Under Ganguly’s captaincy, India became the joint winner of the 2002 Champions Trophy. He also led the team to victory in the NatWest Trophy in England. In 2003, he took India to the final of the ODI World Cup, but the team could not win the title. In this article, we will share some rare records made by Sourav Ganguly on the occasion of his birthday.

A young man from Kolkata came to play his first ever Test and scored a splendid hundred to save team India against England in 1996 at the Lord's. The young man, Sourav Ganguly, turns 53. He was born on July 8, 1972, in Calcutta (now Kolkata), West Bengal.

Sourav Ganguly said that Virat Kohli decided to retire from Test cricket on his own, even though the BCCI tried to make him stay. Ganguly respected Kohli’s choice and said it reminded him of his own retirement, as every player knows when it's time to move on. He was a bit surprised that Kohli retired at 36, but believes Kohli felt it was the right moment to say goodbye.

In a recent interview, Ganguly said that although he never seriously thought about becoming India’s coach before, it is something he might consider now.

Former captain Sourav Ganguly has appeared after a long time, but whenever he speaks, he says very important things. He also said that it would be difficult to replace a player like Virat Kohli in the Indian Test team.

Sourav Ganguly feels it won’t be easy for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to play in the 2027 World Cup. With age and many matches ahead, staying fit and ready will be a big challenge for both.

When Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired and were not with the team for the upcoming five-match Test series against England, starting from June 20, why did the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar not choose to call Shreyas Iyer for the all-important overseas assignment?

The former Indian Test captain believes in the team's ability to triumph in the five-match Test series in England.

Andre Russell did what he is known for, dealing with fours and sixes with his muscle power. Rajasthan Royals faced Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens yesterday (May 4) afternoon under a calm sky, accompanied by a mild river breeze. Things started to change when Russell decided to go with his all-guns-out approach.
