Profile
The captain of the side, Saurav Ganguly’s international career began in a disastrous way. As a 19 year-old, he was on tour to Australia in 1991/92 where both
his ability and attitude was questioned. His recall for the 1996 tour to England was severely criticized but this talented left-hander silenced his critics by hitting century at Lord's. He hit another brilliant century (136) in that series at Nottingham and he ended up with the Man of the Series award. In the beginning he was considered fit only for Test matches because his inability to play onside strokes slowed down his scoring. Ganguly is one of the best players in the world when it comes to playing shots on the off side. But it did not take him long to work on his problem on the onside and gradually developed into an explosive opener as Sachin Tendulkar’s partner. He began with a bang in the 1997 Sahara Cup in Toronto, where he won four Man of the Match awards in a row. Ganguly’s biggest problem is his running between the wicket. He seems a little reticent as he strolls out to the wicket and prefers hitting fours in the early overs to stealing singles.
