Sourav Ganguly, the current President of Cricket Association of Bengal is celebrating his 46th birthday today. Ganguly was one of India’s finest batsmen and a fearless captain. He was famous by the name of ‘Dada’ and also known for his drives on the off-side. Rahul Dravid once said, On the offside, first there is God, then Sourav Ganguly! which explains his accuracy. On the occasion of his birthday many cricketing legends like Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman have wished him.
Here are some of the tweets.
Step 1-Wake up, blink your eyes twice & dance down the track
