Top 5 Sourav Ganguly moments in cricket

#2 The Gabba Century

Indian captain Sourav Ganguly (R) holds

The Indian team arrived in Australia for Steve Waugh’s final Test series at the end of 2003 and not many gave team India a chance to compete against the dominant Australian team who were in their prime.

In the first Test played at the Gabba in Brisbane, Dada scored magnificent 144 runs comprising of 18 boundaries and the Australian bowlers had no clue as to where to bowl to Dada.

This aggressive innings of Dada set the tone for the remainder of the series. The Test in Brisabane ended in a draw due to rain. India went on to win the second Test at Adelaide and Australia drew level the series in the third Test at Melbourne. The fourth Test in Adelaide ended in a draw and India retained the Border Gavaskar series.

Ganguly's captaincy was spot on throughout the series and inspired all the players to give their 100% on the cricket field.
