XtraTime Web Desk: Sourav Ganguly got the biggest compliment from Sachin Tendulkar ahead of his debut as BCCI President. The master blaster expects Ganguly to play his new role as passionately as he played the game.
According to Tendulkar, “The way he played his cricket, the way he has gone out and served the nation, I have no doubt that he will serve (as BCCI President) in same capacity and in the same manner, with same passion and same focus. That is what I know of him.”
Tendulkar and Ganguly, known to be one of the best opening pairs in the history of the game, hold the record for scoring the highest number of opening partnership runs in ODIs. In 136 innings the duo opened for India, they scored 6,609 runs.
A couple of days back Sachin also praised Sourav after becoming the new President of BCCI on his twitter handle.”Congrats on being elected the @BCCI President, Dadi. I am sure you will continue to serve Indian Cricket like you always have! Best wishes to the new team that will take charge.”
