Saurav is one of the greatest left handed oneday international batsman in the world. He played his debut one day international match in 1992 and after 4 years he started to play his one day international matches.
The prince of calcutta name was given by Geoffrey Boycott.
This english opener is a fan of saurav’s batting.
In the earlier days onside was saurav’s weakest side. But day by day he is improving.In his day saurav plays some sort of shots those are unbelievable.Example--The 1999 world cup match against Sri lanka.He scored 183 runs in that match.He played some tremendous shots against world’s best spinner Muralitharan.
The best shot of Saurav is cover drive.This is very beautiful to the viewers.
I have ranked some great inning by saurav:
1)183 against srilanka in 1999
2)124 against pakistan in dhaka asia cup final
3)121 against in the debut test against england in lords.
Saurav was elected the captain of India.In test or one day cricket the captaincy record is very good(as indian captain).
Saurav has scored 8255 runs so far in the odi in average 42 which is very impressive.He has 40 average in test cricket, has scored 4100 runs.
Saurav is a part time bowler also.He has done some great bowling spells.He is called ’’the man with the golden arm’’.
I am a saurav fan.I hope that in his captaincy india will win the world cup again in south africa.
Saurav is very imotional captain.Many people dislike it.But I am not.I think who always eat, live or sleeps cricket he has the right to be imotional.This proves his devotion to the cricket.
And a good news for the saurav fans.saurav is being selected as the best captain in the world for the cricketing year 2002(according to ceat cricket ratings).
