Yuvraj Singh Has A Special Birthday Tweet For Sourav Ganguly, Who Turns 45 Today!

‘Prince of Kolkata’ Sourav Ganguly turns a year older on Saturday. The former India skipper, known as the leader who loved to defy challenges, has turned 45-years-old.

Quite naturally, Twitter has been buzzing with wishes flowing in for ‘Dada.’

Ganguly is often credited for popularising in the idea of developing the next generation of cricketers. He was one of the most experimental skippers of his time and strongly believed that young upcoming names should be exposed to international cricket at the earliest.

He spread this trend at a time when selectors wore the conventional hats and would think that youngsters should at least play two – three seasons at the domestic level before coming into the national team.

Ganguly’s contrary decision making paid rich dividends, as India saw many promising names make their mark in the national team. One of them was Yuvraj Singh, Ganguly’s perfect chivalrous protégé.

Yuvi and Ganguly share a very friendly relationship with the latter treating the former as his younger brother. So, it was expected that Yuvi would be one of the super delighted individuals on the occasion the former skipper’s birthday.

He Tweeted:

“Wishing dearest @SGanguly99 many happy returns of the day lots of love dada.”

Ganguly had a highly successful career with Team India. He excelled in both the art of batting and leadership.

During the course of his career, the left-handed batsman represented India in 113 Test matches scoring 7212 runs at an average of 42.17. His batting prowess was more pronounced in ODI cricket, a format in which he was on one of the best top order batsmen in the world. In all, he played 311 matches and amassed 11,363 runs before retiring in 2007 as the most successful Indian skipper.

After retirement, Ganguly was still in action, playing the shortest format in the Indian Premier League. Later on, he took up administrative duties with his state board, Bengal Cricket Association, and currently, acts as the president.
