Sourav Ganguly has recently been elected as the new BCCI President and the cricket personalities including fans are having high expectations from him after listening to this news. Sourav Ganguly is one of the most experienced cricket personalities of India. Before becoming the BCCI president, he was the President of Cricket Association of Bengal. Sourav during his initial years in cricket had dedicated his time to become one of the top class cricket players. He was known as the God of the offside as for his expertise in playing shots square of the wicket and through the covers.
He has also been given the Captaincy of the Indian Cricket Team in 2000, and he has managed the position very well. He had to lead the Indian cricket team to an enormous number of victories. He has very good bonding with players all around the globe. Despite having faced many criticisms – controversy with former Indian coach Greg Chappell he has proved his worth. I agree that after 2004 his performance went down but he fought back and made several comebacks into the National Team. After retirement from International Cricket in 2008 ‘The Prince of Calcutta’ did not rest in fact he decided to play IPL. Ganguly after becoming the BCCI president has given us hope for the betterment of the Indian Cricket Team. He has already taken the initiative for India’s first Day and Night Test match which will become one of the historic moments if played.
He has also approached his friend and former opening partner Sachin Tendulkar to groom the newcomers or future stars of Indian Cricket. Ganguly has also declared that he will also take the help of other legendary cricket players to shape the future of future star players. Unfortunately, Ganguly cannot hold his post of the President of the BCCI for more than 10 months as he has already served several posts for the cricket board, he has to go through a cool-down period of 3 years according to the rule. But we are hoping that the rule should be changed as he is very much worthy of this position and for such a legendary person the cooldown rule should be changed.
