Sourav Ganguly turns 51: A complete look at career, accomplishments of legendary Indian batter

Legendary Indian batter Sourav Ganguly, considered one of the greatest batters and captains of all time in sport's history, turned 51 on Saturday, July 8.

Ever since his international cricket debut in 1992, Ganguly's bold, ferocious personality and strokeplay earned him not only the nickname 'Dada', but also the captaincy of Team India. He was the skipper who took over an Indian team struggling match-fixing saga in the 2000s and taught them how to win no matter what conditions and backed young cricketers who would go on to become world champions collectively in future.
