The God of off side and the most stylish left hander of Indian Cricket had retired from international cricket after the last game of the Border Gavaskar series at Nagpur. Ganguly had played 113 Test matches and scored 7212 runs at an average of 42.17. He had scored 16 tons and 35 half centuries in his Test Career. He had also been a successful captain. During his period, India started winning games abroad. They did well in England, in Pakistan and even in Australia. He was an aggressive captain. Ganguly's one day career was even more exceptional. He played about 311 matches and scored over 11000 runs at an average of 41. One of his achievements as captain of the ODI team was reaching the World Cup 2003 finals. His career had a lot of hickups after Greg Chappel came as coach. He was dropped for a season and after that came back very strongly. This proved that he was a man of character. He has done many things for Indian Cricket and it will be an irrepairable loss for India.
