Sourav Ganguly was born to Chandidas Ganguly and Nirupa Ganguly. He played first-class cricket for Bengal. Chandidas had jokingly said in one of his interviews that he had six brothers and five sisters, and they could have alone formed an Indian playing XI.
Such was Sourav’s popularity in Kolkata that Chandidas did not reveal his identity while attending public events. Sourav described his father as the greatest influence on his career.

Sourav Ganguly is very close to his mother Nirupa Ganguly. She was glued to the TV screen when her son Sourav scored a Test hundred on his debut at Lord’s. In one of her interviews, Nirupa refuted the claims that Sourav had asked a cricketer to carry his bags.
The Ganguly family was rich enough to provide Sourav with a well-equipped gym and a pitch. However, in Nirupa’s views, both would have been of no use if God had not given Sourav the talent to play the way he does.
