Bye bye Dada

I never wanted to do this but with the whole of the cricket fraternity, I have to do this.
Say good bye to my icon Saurav Ganguly.
The God of offside will no longer come to the pitch. The guy who could hit the ball out of the stadium without any muscle being strained is gone. Spinners will breathe easy that elegance is gone.
And its not only about batting as he had his short comings too. But its about the non chalance and audacity with which he created a team which indulged in sledging (or mind games), can hit opponents, brought a swagger in the walk. Turned rookies into hard core cricket assasins. Backed the people he believed to the utmost point. Never hesitated in making tough calls.
And last but not the least never gave up. Each and every come back illustrates mental toughness. That hunger to prove that come on dare to take on me. I still have gun powder left to blow your analysis (wrong of course).
Hope, the mercenaries of cricket he created now create an army for this resting Maharaja. I only wish that he somehow comes back with the team or Indian cricket in any capacity.
