Some love Sourav Ganguly, others love to hate him, but no one can simply ignore him.
   Sourav Ganguly: The Maharaja Of Cricket is about the man, the leader and the motivator. With a bat in his hands, he is still worth a wager. This book is a tribute to the grit, courage and dedication of one man who taught Indian cricketers to dream. He is the man who can be credited with building Team India, brick by brick.
   The story of Sourav Ganguly is essentially that of a bright young lad’s metamorphosis into a leader in a battlefield called cricket. It is the kind of stuff that fairy tales are made of.

‘Under Sourav Ganguly, India has won no fewer than 11 Tests abroad. Not much by any standards but when you consider the fact that they had only 13 away Test victories to their credit earlier, it is a commendable achievement in five years. Now, if you think Indians won only in Bangladesh and Zimbabwe under Sourav you are wrong. Sourav’s first victory was against Bangladesh and the last against Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe, but let’s not forget that in between, India had won in England, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Australia and Pakistan, too. This is something an Indian team had never done before.’
