The man behind the scenes..

Hi all,
Its been quite a time since my last post, my college life will continue later, as I have more pressing matters in my  brain than my life..There are some persons, who make their life large, and this post is dedicated to one such person, whom I love and I love to see him scale heights.. We all are in glory of crowned being the world champions (nobody knows whether the crown given was a original one or a fake !! ) , but some people were never noticed that time. People including myself praised Sachin, Dhoni , Yuvi ,Zaheer everybody in team, coach staff, selectors etc.. But some big names was left in the list and most of us didn even bother about them.
It was a team effort which showed class, but success in not a destination but a journey full of ups and downs, only the fittest survive, Darwin's theory holds good everywhere. Dhoni, who lead to us to the crown, has proved his mettle, he might have lead us to the top , but it was Dada, one of the great cricketers the world cricket has seen, made the beginning. I dont want to undermine Dhoni's talents, but all I say is he builded on the platform which Dada left. Openers giving a terrific start say 125 plus in 10 overs and the middle order just building on , will be a good analogy, Dada played the role of opener, and Dhoni continued it, though both are equally important, a small percentage of ur senses might tell its the openers whose efforts are to be lauded more, and so do I praise Dada for the winning attitude he has given to the team.
It was under Dada, when our team started winning abroad, before that India was known as chokers outside India, and it was he who brought the winning attitude to the team, it was he who lead us to world cup final in 2003.
Speaking of Dada, nobody can forget Natwest Episode, where he led us to great historic win , and Lord's balcony will always be the place Ganguly fans will cherish, his celebration showed it all , what the youth of this country is capable of, though the media were growing rage against it, youth of the nation never felt anythin bad of it, people call it a infamous incident , but fans of the game, and fans of Dada like me,knew what it meant and it was the beginning of the uprisal of the Great Indian Cricket era, which is at its peak right now.

The shirt in the picture is the shirt which he removed after the win.
Many might have forgotten, Indian cricket though had the likes of Kumble, Tendulkar, once was strongly bitten by match fixing allegations, and people looked like they will never see Cricket again, but and our performance too went to a all time low, and it was under his captaincy that India began to rise, and it started getting the fans and started to enjoy the craze it had before.
That craze and the expectations and the attitude of youth lead to us Natwest, Mini World cup, world cup finals and then Dhoni's captaincy made history, of course formation of IPL , purely built on our craze for the game. Speaking of IPL, Dada was in Kolkatta , leading the team for SRK's Kolkatta Knights, and then had to face a dead end being dropped out in IPL-4 , and not being picked by anybody in the auction.

Ganguly made a fitting comeback in IPL-4 as a warrior in Pune Warriors, under Yuvi, who was picked and mentored by Dada himself, when he was the captain of Indian team. Sometimes fairytales come true. In the case of Sourav Ganguly, it almost always does.An unbeaten innings of 32 runs off 32 balls can be dismissed as anything but special, under the circumstances he played. May be run a ball in not a much significance in T20, but its not just that in case of Dada, its always a curious case.When PWI announced that they had signed Ganguly to play for the remainder of the IPL, even his most ardent fans had mixed feelings. They wanted him to succeed but they were not sure if he could.
After all, the 38-year-old cricketer had not picked up a bat in the past five months, as he himself revealed after the match.once again showed that it is possible to put mind over matter. You can, if you think you can.The crowd understood this frisson between the heart and the body that happened in Hyderabad as Ganguly guided his team to a victory, I came back from office soon to see Dada bat, and was sitting glued to the tv and I was very very anxious.No single has been more cheered and clapped in IPL history than the first run he scored. And he was not even the home boy, where he is more than just a cricketer. SRK would have learnt that the hard way, as hardly the stands were occupied as Dada was not, but though at later stages, when the team was performing well, stands began to fill up. SRK even tried "Win for Dada" campaign, which had no results among the people.
A sportsman can lead you to emotions, mainly either to despair or euphoria, but very few give more than that, and one among such is our Dada, he can make you feel the entire range of emotions on and off the field, sometimes he might make you angry,sometimes proud,sometimes positive,sometimes negative, and thats what Dadagiri is all about. Being a Ganguly fan means being part of an unpredictable emotional journey. You never know what will come your way on a particular day. Nobody else has the power to enthrall and exasperate like him.

"The best captains get it right seven times out of ten,” he said. “I think I get it right five times out of ten. But I know, even when I get it wrong, that my team believes I was wrong in trying to be right.” This was in 2004 when he was probably the best man to have lead India onto a cricket ground, certainly in the years since I started watching seriously. 
People who watch the game, will never forget the way he handles the spinners, his down the track six against any quality spinner shows his class, and he too I accept is not perfect, allergic to short balls, may be it would be apt to say Raina his successor. 
Of all the videos which I love about Dada, here are some , which will definitely be worth a watch.(Watch the above with  comentary !!)

Who knows   when the stock markets peak and when they hit a bottom, so too it is with people.Who knows what the future would be for Ganguly for his life has rarely been predictable. 


Bye till nex,
