Sourav Ganguly biopic: Top five moments of Dada's life to look forward to in the film

Sourav Ganguly's cricketing journey will be immortalized on the silver screen in an iconic Bollywood film. The cricketer shared that filmmaker Luv Ranjan will produce the movie. Ganguly posted, "Cricket has been my life, it gave confidence and ability to walk forward with my head held high, a journey to be cherished. Thrilled that Luv Films will produce a biopic on my journey and bring it to life for the big screen."

Meanwhile, Dada had previously expressed that he would love to see Ranbir Kapoor essaying his character in the film. Now, here we take a look at the top 5 moments from his illustrious journey.

Dada marked his debut at the age of 24 and made history at Lords by becoming the first Indian cricketer in the world to score a century on debut. He got global recognition straightaway and became the pride of the country. Ganguly had scored 131 against formidable players like Dominic Cork, Allan Mullally, Peter Martin, and Chris Lewis.

Ganguly scored 183 off 158 balls against Sri Lanka in a World Cup match at Taunton. His smashing 183 runs included 17 fours and seven sixes. Sourav made runs with Rahul Dravid against Chaminda Vaas and Muttiah Muralitharan on the attack.

Who can forget Sourav Ganguly taking off his t-shirt and waving it at the Lords? Dada led the team to an iconic world cup victory by beating the host team England in an epic final at Lords in 2002.

Ganguly and Indian cricket team coach Greg Chappell's fight in the dressing room came to the fore in 2005. Soon, Ganguly had to step down as the captain of the Indian cricket team.

After Dada was sacked, Ganguly played a few domestic matches and scored. And by that, he convinced the selectors that he deserves a spot in the team. He proved that he is still in the game by scoring a gritty 51 in the first Test against a strong South African bowling attack in 2006.
