When Sourav Ganguly was FORCED to Make an AD - That went on to Change his Legacy | Pepsi & Cricket 

well said mate. He truly deserves the recognition.

He is a legend but he was not in his prime form when he retired.

Not in his prime, but surely good form.

@@aamir8965 yes in 1998-2000 dada was god level

He is a legend but he retired because he was not in his form

Yesss..

I had tears

Shut up

but the high pitch in their voices was funny🤣

Same here!!!

I loved your English above all facts you mentioned!

Well said, echoed my emotions, my thoughts. Sachin's ardent fan but couldn't help but love Sourav. Being a fighter he is, forced his way into millions of hearts.

But gold isnt white????🤔

Don't compare Sachin and Ganguly. Ganguly is not even close to Sachin. You can compare Dravid and Ganguly.

@@mein3324 Do u know cricket?

I remember Dada getting a lot of support from the then Pakistan cricket team and the Pakistani legends likewise... thanks a lot to you bhaijaan and all our Pakistani brothers who had shown support for Dada when he was in a state of turmoil..

That was somewhat similar to Sarfaraz Ahmed's return vs NZ & his century.

And the very next match he went on to score a fine 200 and his highest test score too at bengluru against same pakistan rescuing india from 60/4 to more than 300

Oh man this was lovely and i wish I was there

@@kritiray8094 300 run partnership with Yuvraj Singh. That was epic!

@@kritiray8094 I was there in stadium watching Dada killing all the bowlers. The entire stadium was chanting Dada's name. Dada till today is my favorite player of my life.

@@umamaheshwari56 ok bro surely will do that tonight

oh i never knew,,indians smashed australinas effortlessly during sunny days..this is nonsense ..he is not architect...any country domestic setup is the foundation

I do...

Dada is Architect. Not Architecture

Smriti Mandhana bats the way Dada used to bat.

Prithvi for Viru?, no way.

If not among Indians....surprising comparisons of legends in those era:- 1) India Sourav, SriLanka Sanath, Pak Anwar, Aus Gilchrist, SA Klusener and unshined Jacques Rudolph who didn't survive for long, NZ Stephen Fleming, Trescothick Eng, WI C Gayle. Only defective piece is Stephen Fleming who always played well Vs Ind and poor against other opponents and can't be compared much and also has poor conversion rates than all listed here but in a charity odi match post 2002 or 2004 I can't forget his quickfire 106 with 9*6 when he batted like a combo of Sourav Ganguly+Sanath Jayasuriya+Chris Gayle+Lance Klusener in one such match till today his that 106 is available in RU-vid highlights. 2) India Sachin, SriLanka but lefthander Sanath here, NZ Nathan Astle righthander, Windies Brian Lara lefthander, Andy Flower Zom lefthander 3) India R.Dravid, SriLanka Atapattu but still lower standard, Pak Yousuf Youhana/Md Yousuf who is little more aggressive than these 2, Windies Ramnaresh Sarwan, Zim Grant Flower, SA Jacques Kallis but can bowl regularly, Zim later stage Tatenda Taibu 4) Ind VVS Laxman, SL Mahela, Pak Younis Khan 5) Older generations Ind Azhar, Aus had 2 Azhars they are Waugh brothers in same team, Ind had lefthander Robin Singh also 6) Ind Sehwag, RSA Gibbs, AUS Ponting 7) Ind Yuvraj, AUS Bevan, RSA Jacques Rudolph less opportunities and didn't shine much, less shining for same Ian Blackwell Eng all these are Yuvraj category batsmen Some of these players have similar style of cricket across the globe. 8) Ind Ajay Jadeja, SL Upul Chandana, Pak Moin Khan, NZ Chris Cairns....this Cairns I d I o t also usually bats only well Vs against Ind had 4 odi 100s Vs Ind 9) Ind Robin Singh, NZ Chris Harris Compensating innings:- 1) Sourav had few ODI 100s Vs SL, Sanath had 8 Vs Ind, Sachin had 8 Vs SL 2) Sachin had 8 100s Vs Aus, R Ponting had 8 100s Vs India

Can't edit there....Tatenda Taibu...a mistype in Rahul Dravid category....he falls under Sachin type category only

hes someone who is destroying kings career chears

@@rohanbhattacharjya7564 Who's destroying who's career? Tbh I don't understand the politics between BCCI (Ganguly) and Kohli and don't want to. I look at results and the results say that Kohli has not performed upto the mark for a long time and facing the heat for it

@@krishnasanyal7 , yeah totally agreed. And also, Dada doesn't sit there to select so called 'king'. If anyone to blame then it can be selectors and MUST be Chokli's performance

Even dhoni

yes ...and rohit, kohli, dhawan, raina, jadeja, ashwin, owe thier career to dhoni.....

@@jeyaprakashps1986 to be fair dhoni was created by dada.

The greatest Dhoni bhul gaye

Rahul Dravid, then dada.

I still felt sorrow during his last test made 85 Vs mighty AUS and lbw 0(1) off Jason Kreja a waste spinner of Aus, he must have scored a ton in that 2nd innings lot of time is there, his 85 in that last test and one of the before tests also made an 85 IVs Aus I think.......but he still should have played till Sachin continued here and Sanath lucky to get many chances although promising youngsters came in their team.....Sourav I wish must have had a test career till 2011 atleast and odi career somehow till 2010. It is because MSD got captwincy awarded and by that time Ind is studded with talentful players......had Sourav been continued till 2010 and he was in captaincy , I hope Ind would have reaped much more benefits.....if he was there till 2010 the Odi team would have read a MY IDEAL 11 as Sourav, Sachin, Uthappa, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Raina, Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan, Zaheer, Shami/Bhuvi/Munaf/L Balaji as 11th (removing Dravid, VVS after 2007WC completely).....giving youngsters a chance during that time apart from Yuvi, Viru, MSD is not a good thought and could have limited places to these players mostly....Post 2011 WC Sourav, Sachin, Dravid, VVS retiring at a time WOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKED AWESOME....Then would have welcomed PLAYING 11 of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Sehwag ,Yuvi, Dhoni, Raina, Amit Misra, Shami, Zaheer, Praveen Kumar......After 2019WC Sehwag, Yuvi, Dhoni, Raina, Misra must have been replaced.......I feel phasewise replacement of no players was also not taken care of properly, disrespected seniors from BCCI without proper farewell including seniors listed above .....one more problem is the outburst of T20 cricket saw many pool of players inpour ..

Honestly Kiran more takes credit for dhoni entry in team but not for Ganguly or wc 2007 debacle.When he talks about selection he says that people he and his team chose were great for the wc2011,which is partially true,but he has to take responsibility for the Indian defeat in 2007 wc.According to him Greg chapell also played a part in starting the process along with John wright which ended with India's wc win in 2011 under Gary Kirsten

@@fluffyoctopus4785 but Dhoni's captaincy promotion alongwith gangulys comeback to test team was decided by col dilip vengsarkar ..Kiran more by then had done the damage by then and left just like msk during wc 19

@@kritiray8094 exactly,he doesn't take any accountability for his(more) team' s mistakes but takes credit all the time.When asked about Ganguly,he said good players like him can make comebacks all the time.Yes they can make comeback ,but only if you allow them back in the team.He and his bunch of selectors follow the saying success has many father's but failure is an orphan

@@fluffyoctopus4785 extremely well said...brother in fact the real transition of indian cricket team.under msd / kirsten only started after 2007 debacle and things cauld have been really bad if more and co had continued to be the selectors instead of col vengsarkar and later kris srikanth ...infact.you can very well see brother how poor and non cofident decisions by msk ruined indias team composition and chnces in wc 2019

Those abusive fan boys are created by genuine comments like this by an unbiased gentleman

But if Ganguly knows the pain, he actually should have supported others going through same thing, he could have at least support Kohli verbally.. Same way Ganguly fanboys blame Chappel and Dravid for removing him

@@arjunp9100 are you living under a rock? Ganguly has supported Kohli verbally on multiple occasions...even few weeks back in an interview that Dada gave to ANI he said that "look at Kohli's numbers...he is a great player...he will be back in form...it happens to everyone." Remeber BCCI also supported Kohli when he wanted to replace Kumble with Ravi Shastri as coach. Dada did not get this support regarding coach during his time. And also don't forget that Kohli will never be dropped from upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup team no matter his performance. This previlage only applies to Kohli. What more support do you want? No player has got this much support in the entire history of cricket!

what Chappell did to him, he did to Kohli, removing Kohli from test captaincy like that was a huge mistake and we will suffer for this, just wait till next overseas tour. we already got a hint in England test, how Rohit and Dravid went for a defensive approach against attacking Bairstow.

@@WSTRNS Kohli himself gave up test captaincy after failure to win test series in South Africa...and no both incidents cannot be compared as Kohli was never dropped....look at his test batting average in 2020 and 2021 when he was still captain....just pathetic...stop giving excuses

Yesss..

ANANYA BANERJEE for that you have to remember who was the bcci president and what were his monumental ideas back then in 2005-07 phase?

its funny how they blamed losing matches to fringe teams on the coach, pinned him down for absolutely no reason, im sure the whole chappell was just a makeup story to cover up the loss and he was made the scapegoat

@@Krishna2495 that proves either u have not watched matches of that era or you are merely assessing through stats...get a life man and learn to accept the truth...

Thans for the compliments brother.

Thank you brother😊

Thanks a lot brother😁

Yesss.. that's the topic..

I like making them too brother.

@@cricketraazenglish Please talk about Kohli's captaincy issue if you know

no ways

Yes I was there in the stadium that day and crowd cheered every Indian wicket that fell and when India went all out we started chanting "Hay Hay Chappel".. That was only time when we Kolkata people cheered SA defeating India by 10 wickets. The ice on the cake was Greg was so furious that he even pointed middle finger to media before boarding the team bus. Kolkata did make him feel the heat that day...

@@krishnendu0912 I was not there personally but heard about it all from kins. It was a small revenge from us.😄👍
