The ‘Dada’ or ‘Big Brother’ of Indian cricket, Sourav Ganguly, has proved it once again that he still has enough fuel to be the best batsman in the world. His masterly knock of 239 and 91 in the third test at Bangalore has made him the only batsman after Jaques Kallis(1,125) to have scored more than 1,000 runs in a calendar year, i.e. 2007. He still has two more innings to go this season.
Had he completed his century in this test he would have become the seventh batsman in the world to have scored a double century in the first and a century in the second innings of the same test match.
I wish him all the very best for the tour Down Under. May he carry the same good form there, as well.
