Har Kutte Ka Din Aata Hai
Ganguly's exclusion from the last Test match is shocking to say the least. I am not a blind supporter of Dada but considering his current performance at Kotla, he has been given a raw deal.
And if at all he was to be shifted out, it would have been better if he was taken into confidence, duly informed much beforehand so that he could have departed on a high. He deserved a formal farewell from his teammates - most of whom he himself nurtured.
He deserved this because, firstly, he was your captain, and then the most successful at that. Had he been allowed an honorable exit, he would have been remembered mostly for his conquests as a skipper, which were rightfully his own. Now, I am afraid, the memories of these undesired controversies will remain more fresh in mind than his accomplishments.
Greg Chappell, and more than him the BCCI is responsible for that. Sharad Pawar, certainly a novice in the arena, has many idiots like Dungarpur in his team, who have made him look like an idiot himself.
Rahul Dravid could have done better for his ex-captain and colleague. He is responsible too for silently watching this tirade. He must realize that every dog has a day. Ganguly's day as a dog has come late as he became the captain at a much younger age, but Dravid's day gonna come much sooner. Probably after the debacle of 2007 World Cup. Then he will be finding himself in the same situation, and it will feel as bad.
Now Ganguly must take a call on his career. He must realize that he is not wanted in this current Indian dressing room. There is no point in rubbing it more on himself. Just chuck it. They won't give you an opportunity to redeem. Have faith in life, it is a great leveler.
