"Impactful Captain": Yuvraj Singh Leads Birthday Wishes For Sourav Ganguly

Former India captain and current Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly turned 50 on Friday and wishes are pouring in on social media for 'Dada'. Ganguly is credited for creating a formidable lineup and under his leadership, India had defeated Australia in the 2001-02 Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the side had famously staged a win against all odds at the Eden Gardens after Australia had asked the hosts to follow-on. Ganguly had also led India to the final of the 2003 World Cup, where they lost to Ricky Ponting's Australia in the summit clash.

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh led the birthday wishes for Ganguly, terming him as a "great friend" and "impactful captain".
