Happy Birthday Sourav Ganguly

New Delhi, July 08: Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly, who is the specialist in captaincy, as well as the elegant sixes, has been turned 45, here on Saturday. On the occasion wishes poured in for The 'Prince of Kolkata' from all parts of the country. Social media too buzzing with his birthday wishes.

However, Ganguly has been one of the most successful captains for Indian Cricket Team and is known for his leadership qualities. The left-handed batsman made his first Test appearance for India in 1996 against England at Lord’s and scored a brilliant hundred in that match.
