5 instances when Sourav Ganguly owned the commentary box

Banter with Ravi Shastri

Ganguly has picked up this habit of giving it back to Shastri!

The Dada-Shastri rift is well-known for years now. The internet is full of jokes on the former cricketer Ravi Shastri for his commentary cliches. Shastri has always come across as a pompous and boastful person, but Dada knows how to own him!

During a commentary stint in a Test against at New Zealand in 2012, Shastri and Ganguly were discussing the state associations naming stadium stands on players. Ganguly, who is called the Prince of Kolkata, still does not have a stand named after him, and so Shastri simply could not miss the opportunity to troll him.

Ravi Shastri: “In Eden Gardens, Kolkata, is there a Ganguly pavilion or Ganguly stand?”

Sourav Ganguly: “The ground belongs to Ganguly!”

Smashed it!
