#3 Sourav Ganguly
One of India’s greatest ever captains, he first struck with the ball in his debut match, bagging 2 wickets for 49 runs in his 15 overs (1/5 in 3 overs in the second innings as well). Add that to his brilliant 131 batting at one down, you would be hard pressed to have asked for a better debut. The southpaw eventually batted lower down the order, and Dravid took over the coveted number 3 position for most of their test playing career.
Currently, he is the honourable President of the CAB and President of the Editorial Board with Wisden India. Ganguly is also the co-owner of the Indian Super League franchise Atlético de Kolkata. He is currently a part of the Supreme Court of India appointed Justice Mudgal Committee probe panel for the IPL Spot fixing and betting scandal's investigations. He also holds the post of being a member of the Indian Premier League governing council as well.
