5 great cricketers who should not have played T20 cricket

#4 Sourav Ganguly

Ganguly played five seasons of the IPL but was sporadically impactful

A man of aggression; a leader with passion; a shot through the covers with perfection. This sums up the 'Bengal Tiger' who is one of the greatest left-handed batsmen to have graced Indian cricket.

From attacking the spinners to playing over the in-field to cleverly pacing an innings, Sourav Ganguly was a master with averages of 42.17 and 41.02 in Tests and ODIs, respectively. With age being a dominant factor in the shortest format of the game and with the inception of T20 cricket in Ganguly's final phase of his career, he played only in the IPL but struggled to make an impact and cement his position in the line-up.

He represented KKR and Pune Warriors India in the IPL but showcased a poor strike rate of just 107. The bottom line is that 'Dada' could not repeat his heroics in the shortest format of the game.
