Dada retires…

Finally, Ganguly has announced his retirement from the Cricket after current Border-Gavaskar series. What a leader he has been so far and transformed the Indian Cricket like never before…..Thanks Dada for all the hard work done for Indian cricket and most importantly helping us to believe that yes we can also win…..

Personally, I will remember you for so many reasons. Following are some of them taken out from my cricket diary:
1. Throwing out the T-shirt in the Balcony of Lords after we won the match which we have almost lost. This moment portrays the aggression of the young India and beginning of the success stories for Indian Cricket
2. Magnificent come back after the Chappel episode and slapping the critics where it hurt them
3. Making us believe that we can win the Worldcup again by successfully leading the team to the final of 2003 world cup
4. Making sure that Australian captain waits for you on the ground for the toss to take place till you come.
5. Last but not least beating the mighty Australian cricket team on our soil in the test series

Dada, some of the key takeaways for me looking at your overall cricket life span are:
1. Passion
2. Aggression
3. Self belief
4. Making others to believe
5. Leading from the front
6. Never say die attitude

Although, I am the fan of Indian Cricket God Tendulkar, I have always watched you with admiration.

Cheers,
Amol
