Our DADA was Criticised whole of his Careerand now this is my Answer to the Critics......*/////MUST READ/////*.Dear Critics, tell me what is DADAs fault ifDravid declared the Innings when Sachin wasbatting on 194* ???.Before 2007 they says Ganguly could neverscore a 200 in his CareerBut, DADA answered them by making 239 v/sPakistan when Indian Team was on65-4.They said Ganguly was jealous of Sachin,Dravid and Dhoni, but dont they even knowhow much DADA praises Sachin, Dravid andDhoni in the Media ???Infact it was Rahul Dravid who gave DADAthe nickname The GOD of OffSide.I think they dont even know that...*When Sourav Ganguly was Indias Opener,his avg. was 43 in ODIs*He made total 22 ODI Centuries andmaximum of them are in 1997 to 2003 asOpener*He is the faster Cricketer to reach 6000,7000, 8000, 9000 ODI Runs.Dont they know how much DADA Sacrificedfor Sehwag ???After the arrival of Sehwag, he realised thatSehwags style of Batting was moresuitablefor Opening to take advantage ofPowerplays, so he put himself down toMiddle Order and then started thedecline ofhis form...He sacrificed the position where he was sosuccessful just for the Team sake...Ganguly has not been slack in reaching the10,000 Run Landmark, either Ironically therise of Virender Sehwag, who eclipsed evenTendulkar with his array of bludgeoninghits...He has scored 3319 runs at an average of36.47 in 97 Innings since Sehwag claimed hisspot as Indias ODI Opener, statistics thatmany average players would love to claim astheir own...However, these numbers are dwarfed byGangulys performance as an Opener wherehe has amassed 7870 runs in 200 matches atavg. of 42.06.So, it was still a fitting reminder tohis criticsof what a powerful force he has been inIndian Cricket.Gangulys form has been instrumental inseveral Indian victories, with 18 ofhis 22centuries coming in those Matches.Now talking about Tests.....*His form (avg) in Tests, never went below40*When Sourav Ganguly batted at No. 4, hescored 1188 Runs in 20 Innings at an avg. of66*When Sourav Ganguly batted at No. 3, hescored 752 Runs in 18 Innings at an avg. of47*He was so successful at No. 3 & no.4.And being the Captain of the Team, he couldhave made himself a permanent Batsman atany of those positions instead of No. 5 orNo.6 where he played most of his Innings...But, he did not want to disturb thecombination of Dravid at No. 3 & Sachin atNo. 4 and hence put himself at No.5 or No. 6for team sake, because he was a Team Man.And this makes them (Critics) Jealous.Dont they forgot, when Sachin resignedfrom captaincy, it was DADA who brought theTeam together & led India to many Great &Historic Victories.In 1992 DADA makes his ODI debut, scoresjust 2 runs and doesnt get a 2nd Chance...Then Captain Azhar calls him snobbish, a badexample for the Team and DADA wasdropped...But, after 4 years of hard work, hecame backin 1996 & scores a century on his Test Debut.We should learn such comebacks in life &move on !!If there was ever a bigger inspiration in life,then it has to be this guy and no one else !!.Dear Critics, there is a limit to Criticise aPerson #MindIt.LIKE & SHARE it with Proud — SOURAV GANGULY _/\_ LEGEND CREDITS : UNKNOWN
