Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma won the T20 World Cup 2024. What Sachin and Sehwag couldn't do as youngsters, they did in 2011 with MS Dhoni. Agarkar won as Chief Selector.
Rahul Dravid, who, couldn't do it as a player, did it as the Head Coach of the Indian Cricket Team. But one man, who has arguably the biggest hand in making Indian Cricket what it is today went trophy-less.
Our Dada, Sourav Ganguly. In the grand tapestry of Indian cricket, he stands as a vibrant thread—a leader who infused passion, resilience, and audacity into the game. His illustrious career spanned nearly two decades, leaving an indelible mark on the cricketing world. Yet, there remains an ache—a void that echoes through the annals of time—the absence of an ICC trophy.
The Rise of ‘Dada’
In 1996, Ganguly burst onto the international scene with a century at Lord’s, earning the moniker ‘Dada.’ His partnership with Sachin Tendulkar became the stuff of legends—a symphony of grace and power. As captain, he orchestrated a revival, shaping a team of gifted players into a force to be reckoned with.
Ganguly’s leadership bore fruit. In 2000, India reached the ICC Knockout Trophy final under his guidance—a milestone. The epic 2001 Border-Gavaskar series against Australia saw VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid scripting a comeback for the ages. But the ultimate crescendo remained elusive.
Picture this: Lord’s, 2002. India, chasing a daunting target against England in the Natwest Trophy final. Ganguly, stripped of his shirt, waving it triumphantly on the balcony—a moment etched in cricketing folklore. Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat, yet the ICC trophy remained just beyond reach.
In 2003, Ganguly led India to the World Cup final. The nation held its breath, hoping for glory. But fate conspired otherwise—Australia prevailed. The anguish etched on Ganguly’s face mirrored the collective disappointment of a billion hearts.
Yet, the coveted ICC trophy remained elusive.
Why did fate withhold this honor? Perhaps it was the capriciousness of cricket—the fine margins that separate triumph from heartache. Ganguly’s legacy isn’t diminished; it’s enriched by the unfulfilled quest. His fire still burns in the hearts of fans, urging the next generation to seize the elusive silverware.
