Sourav Ganguly made his maiden double century here at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore his highest Test score as India are to 591 for 6 in their first innings after the lunch break on the second day of the third and final cricket Test against Pakistan on Sunday.
"Spunky Sourav Ganguly Scores Back to Back Centuries for the Second Time"
First it was at Lords, and now it had to happen at Bangalore.Back to back centuries from the Prince of Kolkata! It took eleven years for the feat to occur again, but how many people can boast of having
achieved the feat that Dada did. They are a modicum.
While his inning at Kolkata was a watchful one, and wasn't as fluent as was todays, Ganguly today looked in supreme command right from ball no.1. There were absolutely no stutters at any point. Today's inning no doubt was ultra special for two reasons; One, because it was his 2nd consecutive ton, and two, most importantly because it came at a juncture when things looked pretty gloomy for India. This man is known for looking adversity in the eye whenever he's faced by it. Whenever he looks like being excluded from the team he comes back with something stupefying. He's proven that he's here to stay for as long as he desires. There's a lot of spunk still left in the man.
He was ably supported by the electrifying Yuvraj and then there was no looking back. Whatever little chances Pakistan had of dominating the match were bulldozed by these two juggernauts. There seems to a double century waiting in the wings for Dada. All Dada has to do is play with the same application and poise as he did today. Way to go Dada!
The series is virtually India's now as it seems unlikely that Pakistan can go on to win the match no matter how well they play, ofcourse unless India blunders big time. Kudos to the two Princes and the Indian Cricket team.
