On his arrival at the N S C Bose International Airport in Kolkata from Mumbai on Friday, Ganguly shared his memories of the late leader, highlighting his deep love for the game.

The former BCCI President said he is in favour of the national team having an Indian coach since there is enough talent in the country.  

Following the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Jay Shah expressed gratitude to the ground staff for their hard work.

"Pant is a young captain, he'll learn with time. The way he returned from injury to play a full season; we had our doubts during the off-season," Ganguly told JioCinema. 

Sourav Ganguly feels Rinku may have missed out as India wanted to go with an “extra spinner” keeping in mind the spinning tracks in the West Indies.

Pandya has been at the receiving end of the fans' anger ever since Mumbai Indians announced that he will captain the five-time champions.

The meeting has sparked speculations on Ganguly joining the saffron clan. Since Lok Sabha polls are near, the BJP might give a ticket to Ganguly, claimed sources. Given previous developments, inducting Ganguly into the BJP is a known plan of the party.
