The Fighting Warrior: Sourav Ganguly.

Sourav Chandidas Ganguly, the Pride of Bengal... The Maharaja (emperor) of the Game... and the Big DADA (Big Don) of Indian Cricket, is back roaring with his paws held high, pouncing on each and every lions that try to come by his way... He is ferocious... and more hungry than ever...

there lurks a quite magestic silence in his approach... its not that shirt waving Ganguly that one saw in 2002 NatWest Final against England... its not that over ecstatic pitch slapping Ganguly any more.. he now a patient listener, more than the wall.. he is a cold poison in the veins of the opposition. He remains calm and composed, ready to pounce on an un-protective prey.

Today, he and Yuvraj put on the highest 5th wicket partnership in Bangaluru (erstwhile: Bangalore), of 300 runs, pulling the team from the dumps of 61/4 to 361/4 with Yuvi falling in the next ball faced. He scored 169. Its his come back test also, and he grabbed the oppertunity in style! Ganguly remained unflawed for 125* runs at the day end.

Can he touch his highest ever of 178 runs? Can he cross the double century mark. His 99th Test shall be the witness of one of the greatest tricks that came out of his worn out, soiled, yet working bag of goodies. In the previous test he had fulfilled one of his dreams of making a century at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, his home town.

He is on a role... oppositions be aware!
