ODI World Cup: Former captain Sourav Ganguly, famously known as 'Dada of Indian cricket' is celebrating his 52nd birthday on Monday.

Also known as 'Prince of Kolkata', Ganguly is widely celebrated as one of India's most accomplished cricketers, renowned for his role in nurturing numerous successful players such as MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh, and Zaheer Khan.

The 'Dada' of Indian cricket became captain in 2000, four years after his memorable Test debut century at Lord's in 1996 and began grooming young talents like Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif and testing them under pressure.
