The current Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president, Sourav Ganguly took to Twitter on Saturday to recall the best moment of his life; his Test debut at the Lord’s cricket ground. Ganguly shared a photo collage that featured snippets from his century at the iconic cricket ground from his first game in the longest format of the game.
While fans started feeling nostalgic after seeing the post, Nasser Hussain, former English skipper, tried to take a dig at former India skipper’s leg by asking about his bowling. Captioning the pictures, Dada wrote: “Made my debut today .. life’s best moment @bcci”.
