It is said that Fate makes beggar a King and King a beggar! From being the captain of the Indian team in one series, he was dropped from the squad all of a sudden with darker prospects in the immediate next series back in 2004. After India’s glorifying run in World Cup 2003, followed by a successful tour in Australia which was eventually followed by a historic series win in Pakistan, Sourav Ganguly gained immense respect as the captain of India and was considered as perhaps one of the best captains till then. But he was struggling a bit with the bat which led to his exclusion from the team in mid-2005. Also, he was made to believe by the then members of the team management that his cricketing career literally ended and he needed to step aside to give space for the YOUNGSTERS. But dada showed everyone some dadagiri and his domestic performances forced the selectors to pick him back in the team for the South Africa series in 2006 and he scored a fighting fifty against the fiery pace attack of the South Africans. His  performances gained him spot in the ODI squad too and this happens to be the most spirited and bravest comebacks of all time. Many people take inspiration from this majestic comeback.
