As long as Ganguly was not declaring a retirement he was a burden for the team and needed to pulled.. Now that the warrior has decided to call it quits gracefully some people like Sameer K will still try to pull him down one last time.. Fact of the matter is Ganguly has been a stupendous achiever at the international level for a considerable period of time. That he has changed the face of Indian cricket as a leader often overshadows his exploits with the willow.. But statistics show that Ganguly is only 2nd to Sachin in terms of the number of ODIs he has single-handedly won for India.. Request people like Sameer K to rise above regional bias and salute a sportsperson as he signs off with dignity!
