From Sachin Tendulkar to Yuvraj Singh: Cricket fraternity extend wishes to Sourav Ganguly on his 51st birthday

[Brexiter]

Sourav Ganguly, the former Indian captain and one of the most iconic figures in Indian cricket history, is celebrating his 51st birthday on July 8. Ganguly is regarded as one of the most successful captains in Indian cricket, credited with transforming the team’s mindset and instilling a sense of aggression. As a stylish left-handed batter, Ganguly, widely known as “Dada,” played with elegance and had a strong presence at the crease. His batting technique, backed by the ability to play both pace and spin with equal prowess, made him a force to be reckoned with.

Social media platforms witnessed an outpouring of birthday wishes for Ganguly from his former teammates and fans. One of the biggest icons of Indian cricket, Sachin Tendulkar, came up with a witty tweet, revealing how much Ganguly loved the off-side. Tendulkar wrote, “Dadi is one man who would even celebrate his birthday on the offside. That’s how much he loved the offside. Happy birthday, my friend!”
