Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly changed the face of the Indian cricket by bringing in more aggression. Ganguly, who has shared the best of times with players like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, has penned down his memorable journey in the book ‘A Century is Not Enough’.
Going down the memory lane, the Bengal Tiger talked about his first Test match at Lord’s in 1996 and how Tendulkar helped him tape his creaking bat.
“It was in my first Test, I was batting at 100 at tea. I quickly came in after batting for six hours. My handle had creaked. I was padded up and a cup of tea was given to me. The tea is very short…of 15 minutes. I was tying my bat handle with the tape so he walked up to me and said ‘you just rest and finish your cup of tea because you have to go and bat, I will do the job’,” Ganguly told the news channel NDTV.
