Pre-Order Sourav Ganguly: Cricket, Captaincy and Controversy - A Bible for Dada Fans

Sourav Ganguly: Cricket, Captaincy and Controversy


By : Saptarshi Sarkar




The wait is over finally! The long wait of having a book on Sourav Ganguly covering his career end to end is over now! This must be a treat for all DADA fans and cricket aficionado - a bible for Dada fans and answer to his naysayers.
And the renowned International publisher Harper Collins, one of the “Big Five” in the publishing world, head quartered in New York, is launching the book in India as a tribute to this legendary persona of Indian cricket.


The book is for serious Ganguly fans and cricket aficionados as it throws light on Ganguly’s cricket journey through unique statistics and insight driven analytical treatments.

The potpourri of 18 chapters underlines many kaleidoscopic sides which were hardly discussed earlier. Add to it many unique Ganguly photos in various moods in cricket and personal spaces.

Competitively prices at Rs. 299, the Launch of the book will take place soon. Meanwhile the Ganguly fans and cricket lovers are privileged to order their pre order copies at 25% discount ( Rs 223) at Amazon or Flipkart with the book title: Sourav Ganguly: Cricket Captaincy and Controversy

For India :




Overseas :





The book already achieves many ‘first time’ feathers in its cap.

USP of the book:

1. First time:

a. First time a complete book on the cricketing journey and career of Dada – covering end to end with rich and unique statistics.

b. First time after his retirement, a book on Ganguly from an international publishing house - a kind of “lonely only” one - The only book that covers Sourav’s cricket career end to end – from coronation at Lords in 1996 to his retirement at Nagpur in 2008.

c. First time lights on untold areas - This book throws light on some of the areas ( promising all-rounder, lords of the left handers, relation with Aussies, brand Ganguly etc- which were not much discussed and highlighted earlier with right focus by any mainstream media

2. A statistician’s delight - A whole lot of quite unique and unknown statistics on Ganguly will be shared with authentic treatment – no other books so far provided such breadth and depth of statistical analysis on Sourav Ganguly, encompassing various cricketing aspects. Every chapter will contain pertinent statistics within the chapter so that the relevance of information is well maintained

3. You read cricket history – This book don’t talk on Ganguly per se, it treats the character under the backdrop of the history and greats of the game – once you read Lord of the Left handers, you come to know some of the great names of southpaws from the past with few comparative studies; likewise, when we read Ganguly in the context of Australia and Pakistan – we come to know the past history of Australian cricket or Indo-Pak cricket relation

4. This book is not just for Ganguly fans – rather fans for Indian cricket, who cherish the golden memories of Galacticos (fab five) in ‘90s and millennium. In various chapters, the success stories of Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman came as a natural tribute to their cricket supremacy. So when the book highlights Ganguly from various angles, it also gives due credits to the other contemporary greats of Indian cricket.

Compilation of BEST Sourav Ganguly Moments in the Commentarty BOX - Listen Here

The world reckons Ganguly as the man who turned Indian cricket around with his leadership skills and clarity of thought. Often boisterous, he taught Team India to look the opposition in the eye. From 2000 onwards, there was a distinct shift in India's body language as some of the biggest 'battles' with Australia and England have been 'fought' when Ganguly was in the hot seat. He taught Indians to play the game hard and never get overawed by names or occasions.

As a cricket analyst/Commentator, Ganguly commands the same respect as he did during his playing days. He remains 'special; even during times when some of the top TV experts are 'paid' to say what the game's administrators want. Ganguly speaks his mind - straight from the heart, honest and with a lot of logic and substance.
