It was nice knowing you Dada!

New Delhi, November 10: : Sourav Ganguly wouldn't have been himself had he scored a nondescript 30-odd in his final innings. Besides his divine strokes on the off-side one thing that 'Dada' always brought on the field was sense of theatre. Till the time Ganguly is in the middle, the show won't be devoid of drama!

The grimace after ducking down to every bouncer, the effort to look nonchalant after hitting a boundary or lofting a spinner for one of those ? up-up-&-away sixes and of course the sheepish smile to the non-striker after fending off a bouncer, again!

These were but just a few things that Ganguly made his trademark and when he'll bid adieu to international Cricket at the end of the Nagpur Test, their won't be a single cricket lover (irrespective of nationalities) worth his salt who can say that he won't miss Ganguly.

There are players who come, play and make the followers eat out of their hands by not just their performances but more so because of their persona. In tennis, Pistol Pete ruled the roost during the 90's but it was bad boy Agassi who made the crowd go berserk.
