It is an acclamation by a fan. For Satptarshi Sarkar, the Prince of Kolkata ranks high in the list of achievers.

And why not? Sourav Ganguly chose to silence his critics, who welcomed his selection to the Indian team in 1991 as a quota entrant, with a century at Lord’s on his Test debut five years later.
