Sourav Ganguly was one of the most fiercely competitive players in the modern era. The southpaw was known to wear his heart on his sleeve and lead from the front throughout his tenure as the captain of the Indian Team.

He’ll have some fond memories of the Champions Trophy as he was a consistent performer with the bat, scoring 665 runs at an average of 73 in the 13 matches.

Ganguly recorded his highest score of the tournament with a well compiled 141 runs against South Africa at Nairobi in 2000. The left-hander crafted his way to three half-centuries and three magnificent hundreds through the course of the tournament.
