Sourav Ganguly is the most successful captain in Indian cricket history but he was perhaps the most unfortunate too. Just a year ago, Ganguly was fighting hard to make a come back to the Indian national team after being out of the time for many months thanks to the all out effort by the then coach Greg Chappell.

So, all the fans of Ganguly were very happy yesterday when he scored the first double century of his career. His double century, helped India to put an imposing total against Pakistan in the first innings of Third Test.

Sourav Ganguly struck an epic 239 and fellow left-hander Irfan Pathan hit his maiden century as India tightened the noose around Pakistan in the third and final cricket Test here on Sunday.

Ganguly played a classy innings of sheer grit and handsome stroke-play before being dismissed for his highest ever score in Test cricket, going for a sweep shot and missing a Kaneria delivery to be bowled 12 minutes before tea break.

Ganguly also scored a century in the second test in this series. He has replied his critics in the best way in the last one year.
