We all know him as ‘Dada’, a former captain of the Indian cricket team and now the President of the Cricket Association Of Bengal, also had his first love as football.

In his childhood, he used to watch and play football and soon became a proficient football player but had to choose cricket over his first love due to his elder brother being an avid player in the Bengal cricket team who made him join the cricket academy.

This did not stop him from being close to football, so he became the co-owner of the Kolkata-based Atletico de Kolkata in the ISL and is also a legit die-hard fan of Manchester United. Not only this, he remembers his first shot being a football shot, rather than his bat's swing.
