Dadagiri is dirty-giri !

When most cricketers of recent times got better with age, some had a different story against their name. Cricketers like McGrath, Warne, Pollock, Jayasuriya, Gilly all got promoted from icons to legends and for some like Sachin, it was a promotion from being legends to demi-gods rightly justified by the Padma vibhushan award.

While all this were happening certain people wrote a different script for themselves. Saurav Ganguly is one such man who by his own tendency became the most hated Indian cricketer. While my comments may sound like a strong personal opinion It was a cliche and I heard from cricket followers of different walks.

Dadagiri certainly proved to be a dirty-giri for many wrong reasons. Bengalis are always known for their overrated regionalism's if not generally but at least when it comes to supporting ganguly.

They always take to the streets when dada is being pushed even little when he thoroughly deserves it. That was annoying for many onlookers because the same had been meted out to some great players who fair better than dada on many fronts. Such is the unacceptability for truth by so called dada's army.

The reasons are aplenty, their violent ways of expression is one. When a batsmen of any team gets 'out' obvious response will be a silence but kolkata fans elate in joy because their Dada is coming on to the pitch as the next batsman(kolkata knightriders), sounds insane, since he isn't a player worth routing for.

His strange on field behavior in recent times sounds of his sense of non-cooperation, lack of involvement and zero team spirit, also reveals that he is a sore player when 'he' is not the captain.

His arrogant attitude when he is batting , his outbursts towards his bowlers when they are not doing well, his lethargic body language all add to the fact that he is not a team man atleast in recent times.

Even some teammates of him in Kolkata knightriders started admitting his lack of interest in team bonding and hate-losing tendency in private conversations to the media is undoubtedly a fall-out of all that.

Having said all these I have nothing personal against him or kolkata fans, but thats the way it could be looked at.

Its a naive behavior to support him blindly given that he is not a people's cricketer and he is always short of all the love and affection.

Lets wait and watch how long this ineligible man can pretend to be a great captain or a great batsman for that matter, when he doesn't even qualify for a fraction of what he's getting from his 'loyal' fans.


Cheers !!!
