It is not just Ganguly, or Cricketers in general. Any Celebrity in India, if achieved a small thing, the media blows it up, and portrays them as the Rising Star - The Future of tomorrow. And if he or she goofs it up, they are fried in the filthy oil of criticism. You dont find Sania Mirza in papers anymore as you saw, a few weeks back. There were also cartoons of Ashutosh Gowarikar, when he lost the Oscar. Life in India, is just a lil different. No Venkat. It is not just Ganguly, or Cricketers in general.

Only in India do people write off their own team and team members. You wouldn't see Ponting have such jokes imposed on him when he got an average of 24 during the year 2004. Only Ganguly gets this special treatment, for being India's winningest captain, for being the person as captain to score the highest amount of runs in one innings against Australia in Australia, for being one of only 22 with an average over 40 in both forms of the game. Yes, I am a fan and its high time people respected our captain. Sure he hasn't been in peak form with the bat this series, but he was India's second most consistent last year with average of 46.7 and this is the first series this year. Give the man a break, perhaps he may repay you. Well I’ll bet your going to be stirring for a long time, Ganguly is going to be back with full force.

able to go out shopping and have fun. So he disguises himself as a
Sardar and goes out. he meets a woman at the exit of the hotel who
greets him “Hi Saurav !”

Surprised for having been caught he comes back and makes himself up as
a Muslim woman – in Burkha etc and goes out. Yet same again – the
same woman greets him “Hi Saurav!”.
