Sourav Ganguly is on the verge of creating history by becoming the only second Indian captain to be appointed as BCCI president. He has been the torchbearer in Indian cricket when it comes to promoting young talent. The likes of Virender Sehwag, MS Dhoni, Zaheer Khan, Gautam Gambhir, Ashish Nehra, Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh are the manifestation of Ganguly talent hunt program.
One of them is Harbhajan Singh, who blossomed under the captaincy of Ganguly and went on to become India’s second most successful bowler in tests.
After it was confirmed Ganguly becoming the next BCCI president, he took to Twitter congratulating the Prince of Kolkata.
“You are a leader who empower others to be a leader congratulations @SGanguly99 for becoming @BCCI president..I wish you all the best going forward,” the tweet said.

Should the conversation be taken as normal congratulatory message, or is it sensing something? Is Harbhajan Singh a part of Ganguly’s new scheme of things.

Sourav Ganguly has been the ardent fan Jagmohan Dalmiya administration and aspires to emulate his work.
“You know when he (Jagmohan Dalmiya) ran cricket I was a player, so I haven’t seen him very closely, how he ran the board and the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), but he was very dear to me, still is and will always be.
“If I achieve what he has achieved in terms of administration even 50 per cent, I’ll think have done a great job,” Ganguly concluded.
