Ganguly looks to be on the administrative side of cricket soon and has said that he wouldn't be averse to taking over such a role..
The game had hit staggering lows in the country. The match-fixing scandal had pierced a deep hole in every heart and the team looked incapable of winning and surviving with dignity. And that was when it all changed.
Ganguly led India to an ODI series win against the visiting South Africans soon after taking over. He taught the team to win and play with a certain dignity and self-assurance.
However, the honey-moon period came to a stand-still and his fortunes plummeted to an all time-low when a certain Greg Chappell came in as coach and decided he had had enough of Ganguly. Banished from captaincy and the team, the nation watched Dada made a stunning come back after a year to claim his place in the team.. Mother of all comebacks..
His last Test series against Australia was significant for more reasons than one. That turned out to be his most successful outing against the World Champions, churning out fifties, a hundred and a duck in the last innings.
The most successful Indian captain, the royal Bengal tiger is ready to roar again..
The charismatic cricketer has revealed his plans to contest CAB elections in the near future, which could ultimately set him on his way to the BCCI president's post.. Since, it is East Zone's turn to put up a candidate for the top BCCI post in 2014, Ganguly's crowning at the helm of affairs looks all the more realistic.
Ganguly said, "I am convinced that I can play a positive role. Having played the game at the highest level and being part of the system, I know what it takes to make a difference.At some point, I will find a way to get into the CAB where people have known me since I was a kid. I have respect for them and I am sure they will appreciate my concern for Bengal cricket and the difference I can make. I am in no hurry.."
Looks like the show is about to start, all over again.
