5 Indian cricketers with the highest score on Test debut

#4 Sourav Ganguly

Sourav Ganguly made the hallowed turf of Lord’s his own

The former Indian captain was drafted into the Indian side after he was looking for some sort of a recognition for four years.

England had posted 344 and Sourav Ganguly walked in at number three and was cautious, to begin with in order to suss the English conditions and bowling.

The left-hander slowly got into his groove and unfurled many of his trademark cover drives and clips off the hips. He was seldom beaten and the young man displayed a tremendous temperament.

With 20 boundaries to his name, Ganguly made the hallowed turf of Lord’s his own as he got to his century and carved his own name on the honour’s board.
