#1 Sourav Ganguly
Trending
During his playing career, Ganguly established himself as one of the world's leading batsmen and also one of the greatest captains of the national cricket team. He is one of the most controversial figures ever to play the game in India. He was one who brought out the fighting spirit among Indians in overseas conditions.
While batting, he was especially prolific through the off side, earning himself the nickname 'God of the off-side' for his elegant strokeplay through the covers. Along with Tendulkar, he formed one of the most feared opening pairs in the history of ODIs.
Ganguly led the Indian team to the finals of the World Cup in the 2003 edition but what followed was a heartbreaking loss at the hands of the Aussies. The person who taught India to play fearless cricket was deprived of a World Cup win.
