Shift+Delete DADAgiri

DADA,as he is very well known is being forcefully removed, told to end a career, sort of given a pink slip...
sad very sad that one of the legends of Indian cricket is being shown the door this way. It is made to look like Saurav Ganguly has announced his retirement on his own terms and there is no one forcing him to do so, but the catalyst had been provided and continued to be provided by the previous set of selectors for some time now.
But hey this is not the time to feel bad about his retirement, it is the time to relish what contribution he has made to Indian cricket...
A man who showed to the world that Indians cannot be bullied on the cricket field, who showed that Indians are not losers abroad, who showed that the leader needs to lead by example, provide support to his team mates, who showed emotions on the field and said hey that is how Indians are and who cares what you think about it...
Determination is what he was known for, the spirit of fighting till he got his worth...
Who can forget the shots he played on the off side, who can forget him dancing down the track to hit a spinner out of the ground???
They thought he was long gone after his spat with guru Greg, he had to do an ad with a phrase 'Aap apne DADA ko bhule to nahi?'. How embarrassing it would have been for his to shoot for that ad and say that sentence repeatedly?
He was back and scored against all teams and now cos of one bad series, the previous selectors just provided that bit of spark to ignite the fire. They dropped him out of Irany trophy game and that was it to make him believe that he had to retire.
I cannot once forget what he made Indian team into after the days of match fixing, nor can i forget his contribution to the aggressive India that is known today. Who can forget DADA waving his shirt on the balcony of LORDS. He ruled the world of cricket with his DADAgiri for more than a decade and as every dadagiri has to come to and end, i guess DADA's DADAgiri has to come to an end as well...
I wouldn't exactly call it an end,cos he once told he wants to be India Coach one day, and knowing his determination, he will surely be back...
Well remembering the great batsman for his contribution to Indian cricket, Lets celebrate Saurav Ganguly's career in Rahul Dravid's words - 'On the Off - Side, after GOD, there is Saurav Ganguly'.
