Its about "Dadagiri"!!!

Na... I am not posting against the core theme of "Lage Raho Munnabhai"! That's a splendid movie. I ran like crazy from theatre to theatre on the first Sunday morning of its release. I got the ticket at the fourth theatre I tried at and it was all worth it... Non stop laughing for the entire duration and some food for thought as well. Nopes, I did not want to speak about to movie but about dada - Saurav Ganguly.

What a comeback he has made! There was determination in his innings. He played much more maturely than he used to. He was there to stay! And did he make a statement - of course he did. He has always made... He was dropped after one match in '92 and made a statement when he returned at Lord's. He took over the captaincy when Indian cricket were in shambles after the match-fixing controversy. He built the team around him and led them from the front. He transformed it from the Indian team to Team India! And when he was dropped... that's the time I liked him the most. He did not keep quiet. He spoke about his intentions of playing again and worked on his game. I somehow did like the Pepsi ad too - I believe you require lots of guts to do an ad like that!!! Saurav surely has that... You cant take your shirt off and wave it at the Lord's balcony without guts!

Coming here he knew that he had to perform. He knew that if he fails out here then its going to be never again. He played with immense determination and that paid off...! That was an amazing performance from him... Hope to see many more towering sixes of spinners, those sweetly timed drives, classy cuts and sometimes a huge six of a pull!!! Way to go dada!

Hey hold... it was not an one man show either! The whole team played well and gave the best they could...It was a total team effort. The players do have a fear of coming home losing anyways...!!! After all the faith was lost during the ODI's they had to do good to at least return safe home. I had lost all my faith on the team already(Read more) and if I were not sick and on the bed, I would not have watched this match as well. It did do some good to restore my faith in the team and hope that its just a beginning!!!

Critics may come critics may go, but the way DADA showed his grit and determination is worth a million. The same person who was talked off match after match by few boorish SELECTORS is now being praised by these bunch of chameleon.

As rightly said that TALENT IS TEMPORARY and CLASS IS PERMANENT.
how could one deny a fact that "In off side its DADA after GOD"!!
