Sourav Ganguly may be busy with his responsibilities as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCI), but he makes sure to stay active on social media, often sharing photos from his playing days or with his former teammates. The former India captain took to Instagram on Thursday to post an image from his Test debut at Lord's in 1996, captioned "fanatastic memories". Ganguly had famously scored a century at the hallowed ground on debut. In the picture, Ganguly can be seen celebrating his century, with a young Rahul Dravid behind him in the background.
The comment left users in splits.
Legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar also commented on Ganguly's photo.
"This reminds us of his great knock. Is there any other instance of Dada at Lords that one can think of?" he asked.
The question prompted answers that involved Yuvraj Singh as well, of course, as most fans commented in reference to the famous 2002 NatWest series final against England.
Chasing 325, Ganguly had scored a half-century to give India a solid start before the batting order saw a collapse of sorts. Yuvraj Singh and Mohammed Kaif then stitched together a brilliant partnership to rescue the team. India ended up winning the thriller, triggering passionate celebrations on the Lord's balcony. Ganguly took off his jersey and swung it over his head in joy, creating an image that will forever be etched in cricketing history.
