Highlights
- Sourav Ganguly still sorry to miss a century
- I was out on a score of 80-90 several times- Ganguly
- I watch old videos in the absence of daughter-daughter
Kolkata: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly scored a total of 18575 runs in Tests and ODIs, but he regrets many centuries in his career. The left -handed veteran batsman of his time has scored a total of 38 centuries in 311 ODIs and 113 Tests.
Sourav Ganguly has scored 72 half -centuries in ODIs and 35 half -centuries in Test cricket. He regrets missing many centuries during his cricket career. Ganguly expressed this regret when he was asked what advice he would like to give to the old Ganguly.
Ganguly said in the interview, ‘I missed out on a century many times, I should have scored more runs. I scored 90 and 80 runs several times. I watch my videos when I am alone. When my wife is not at home because Sana lives in London. I go to YouTube and see and say to myself, hey, then he was dismissed for 70 runs. I should have scored a century, but now you can’t change it.
If we look at the data of Ganguly, then it is known that he was dismissed after crossing the number of 80 or 90 runs 30 times. If he was successful in converting these innings into a century, then more than 50 centuries would have been recorded in his name.
Even today, the malaise to exclude Kumble
It becomes necessary to take difficult decisions sometimes as a captain. You have to exclude a player and include the player who you think is better according to the circumstances or the need of the team. Ganguly expressed regret over the world’s greatest leg spinners to be dropped from the team. He said, ‘Anil Kumble did not get a chance some time, because he was a very good player.’
