#2 Sourav Ganguly and Nasser Hussain turn back the clock at Lord’s

Sourav Ganguly occupies a very special place in the Indian cricket fan’s heart. The Bengal Tiger is often named as the change agent in Indian cricket. It was his aggression and fighting ability that transformed the nation’s playing attitude and turned them into one of the best teams in the world. One moment that best captures these emotions is Ganguly swirling his jersey at the Lord’s balcony after India’s miraculous win in the Natwest Series final.

In July 2018, Sourav Ganguly was back at the same place. Of course, his famous Test debut had also taken place at the Lord’s cricket ground, and the left-hander had struck a scintillating century to mark his arrival. This is what Ganguly tweeted from the illustrious location.

India had defeated England in the Natwest Series final after which Ganguly had removed his jersey. England’s captain in that match was Nasser Hussain, who had scored a career-saving century on the occasion. The Chennai-born Englishman reminded Ganguly of his charismatic act.
