Ganguly – The Real Match Winner
Sourav Ganguly made his One Day International debut in early 1992 and then was dumped into wilderness before regaining his place in mid-1996 during India's England tour. Since then, in One Day Internationals, the following list indicates that there have been hardly a player or two better than Sourav who could be termed as a real match-winner.

Ganguly carries his bat
Saurav Ganguly was only the third Indian to carry his bat through a (completed) LOI innings. The other two instances occurred almost a decade ago when Ravi Shastri batted through the Indian innings against the same opponent - Sri Lanka, at the same ground - VCA Ground, Nagpur.
There have been many instances of Indian openers batting through an innings, but the following lists only those when India were batting first. When batting second, the only such remarkable instance was Sunil Gavaskar's 'famous' 36 not out against England in the 60 over innings of 1975 World Cup. Others are when India won without the stipulated number of overs being completed, and hence, would not qualify for this table.

Ganguly achieved a rare feat
Saurav Ganguly had become the fourth player to score a hundred and take four or more wickets in a LOI match. He achieved this distinction against Sri Lanka at Nagpur on 22nd March, 1999 in the second match of the Triangular series being played in India. The other Indian who has done this is Sachin Tendulkar. The following table lists the four instances.

True Analysis of Saurav Ganguly's Performance only reveals that One day game is the bastion/forte of Sourav. His 22 centuries in ODI (next to Sachin Tendulkar ) and more than 10000 magical runs ( next to Sachin and In zamum ) reinforce his necessity in Indian ODI squad .His performance in world cup if is scintillating then as a captain in world cup he was outstanding . After all , after prudential cup win in 1983 under captaincy of Kapil Dev , India reached to world cup final again after 20 long awaited years under the stewardship of --- Sourav Ganguly !

After seeing this statistics in world cup we hope that it is needless to doubt the performance of Sourav Ganguly as a batman in the most challenging and the biggest arena of world cricket –world cup.
In total 18 matches, he played in two world cups; he scored 844 runs with an impressive average of 56.26 with 4 century and one half century. His 183against Sri Lanka in Taunton, South Africa is the highest world cup score in one day cricket.
If we go little deeper we will see that he did better in second world cup in South Africa with a great average of 63 in 10 matches compared to England where in 7 matches he achieved an average quite impressive although -54.14 .
Even as a captain, his batting average is better (58.12) than the average (54.14) when he was a non captain. It clearly manifests the very fact that he is always a big tournament player and big challenge motivates him immensely.
Under his chieftain, India won 12 matches and lost six matches .that means that in the most challenging arena, sourav helped India to win every 2 matches out of 3 matches.
A commendable feat!
Finally he is the only captain after Kapil Dev, during whose tenure; India went to world cup final after 20 long years against Aussies in 2003!
Mr.Kiran More and your bunch of jockers --- do you still feel that the mentor of team India and with such impressive performance , Sourav Ganguly does not deserve his place in 2007 world cup ??!!
Really you people make a mockery of Indian Cricket! you really dwarf Indian cricket to your own height !

Ganguly – The Real Match Winner
Sourav Ganguly made his One Day International debut in early 1992 and then was dumped into wilderness before regaining his place in mid-1996 during India's England tour. Since then, in One Day Internationals, the following list indicates that there have been hardly a player or two better than Sourav who could be termed as a real match-winner.

Ganguly carries his bat
Saurav Ganguly was only the third Indian to carry his bat through a (completed) LOI innings. The other two instances occurred almost a decade ago when Ravi Shastri batted through the Indian innings against the same opponent - Sri Lanka, at the same ground - VCA Ground, Nagpur.
There have been many instances of Indian openers batting through an innings, but the following lists only those when India were batting first. When batting second, the only such remarkable instance was Sunil Gavaskar's 'famous' 36 not out against England in the 60 over innings of 1975 World Cup. Others are when India won without the stipulated number of overs being completed, and hence, would not qualify for this table.

Ganguly achieved a rare feat
Saurav Ganguly had become the fourth player to score a hundred and take four or more wickets in a LOI match. He achieved this distinction against Sri Lanka at Nagpur on 22nd March, 1999 in the second match of the Triangular series being played in India. The other Indian who has done this is Sachin Tendulkar. The following table lists the four instances.

Also let's Compare:
True Analysis of Saurav Ganguly's Performance only reveals that One day game is the bastion/forte of Sourav. His 22 centuries in ODI (next to Sachin Tendulkar ) and more than 10000 magical runs ( next to Sachin and In zamum ) reinforce his necessity in Indian ODI squad .His performance in world cup if is scintillating then as a captain in world cup he was outstanding . After all , after prudential cup win in 1983 under captaincy of Kapil Dev , India reached to world cup final again after 20 long awaited years under the stewardship of --- Sourav Ganguly !

After seeing this statistics in world cup we hope that it is needless to doubt the performance of Sourav Ganguly as a batman in the most challenging and the biggest arena of world cricket –world cup.
In total 18 matches, he played in two world cups; he scored 844 runs with an impressive average of 56.26 with 4 century and one half century. His 183against Sri Lanka in Taunton, South Africa is the highest world cup score in one day cricket.
If we go little deeper we will see that he did better in second world cup in South Africa with a great average of 63 in 10 matches compared to England where in 7 matches he achieved an average quite impressive although -54.14 .
Even as a captain, his batting average is better (58.12) than the average (54.14) when he was a non captain. It clearly manifests the very fact that he is always a big tournament player and big challenge motivates him immensely.
Under his chieftain, India won 12 matches and lost six matches .that means that in the most challenging arena, sourav helped India to win every 2 matches out of 3 matches.
A commendable feat!
Finally he is the only captain after Kapil Dev, during whose tenure; India went to world cup final after 20 long years against Aussies in 2003!
Mr.Kiran More and your bunch of jockers --- do you still feel that the mentor of team India and with such impressive performance , Sourav Ganguly does not deserve his place in 2007 world cup ??!!
Really you people make a mockery of Indian Cricket! you really dwarf Indian cricket to your own height !
