Birthday wishes to the most beloved Captain of India, Sourav Ganguly!
For many youngsters, Ganguly has been a role model personified by fearlessness, courage to take challenges head-on and inspiring love for the game of cricket.
One such tribute is by @Anubhav1 to his idol ‘Dada’.
The ‘Dada’ Moment :
The Indian team were enjoying and every Indian player was having the time of his life. Suddenly, the camera panned out to the famous Lord’s balcony and what i saw gave me a strange sense of courage. The India captain, Saurav ganguly was took his shirt off and started celebrating in a manner which according to my father was the perfect reply to Andrew Flintoff’s deed when England visited India a few months back.
Ganguly taking off his t shirt etc and mocking the English bullies in the home, the Lords of all places. The worm had turned. India had developed a spince. And so could I. You decided you were not going to be bullied or humiliated any more and inspite of my size I was not a loser. That was the day when sports taught me an amazing lesson and that was the day when everything changed and I fell in love. Maybe my first love, that first love which a person never forgets and for me sports was my first love.
