Hedges world series

BCCI President Sourav Ganguly: As former India captain Sourav Ganguly turned 53 on Tuesday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) extended a warm greeting to its ex-president, highlighting his stats from his stellar career.

After making his international debut in an ODI match against the West Indies in the 1992 Benson and Hedges World Series, Ganguly served the country for 16 glorious years.

The left-hander batter went on to be recognised as one of the greatest batters to have come out of India, particularly in ODIs. He scored 7212 runs in 113 Tests at an average of 42.17 with 16 centuries. In ODI cricket, Ganguly played 311 matches, scoring 11,363 runs at an average of 41.02 with 22 centuries.
