It was an innings under high pressure. This was a crucial Super Six round match in WC 2003. India had lost 3 early wickets while chasing 225 and Collins Obuya was turning the ball a long way (he had earlier spun Sri Lanka to defeat). Dada played a Captain’s Knock and rescued India from a humiliating defeat. Truly an innings under high pressure 👏👏👏
@@bikas56not exactly. It was a super six match where Dada scored century(107) and Sachin scored 5 runs only while chasing. In the semi final against Kenya, we batted first and posted a total of 270 . Dada again scored a century (111*) & Sachin made a solid 83.
Remember his career best score 183 against current odi World champion Shri Lanka in world cup 1999 , he always performed well against fiery bowling attack of South Africa. He is lagend a truly legend. Great batsman absolutely great to watch him
SOURAV GANGULY is one of the greatest captains of Cricket's world. No one can be like him. He showed how cricket should be played, he created the INDIAN CRICKET TEAM. No Dhoni No Virat no captain could be like him. He is the true greatest captain of India.
@@coolking8264 atleast he scored three century two against Kenya they are one of the semifinalist fool even dhoni cannot score single fifty except final in 2011
@@coolking8264if he was not good batter how he could be the fastest 10000 odi scores in those days ? How he would be second top indian scorer of 2003 world cup?

@@user-Sudhanshu_Yadav yes , you are right. Actually, Dono matches ma centuries ki the jo 2003 ka wc ma india ne kenya ka against khely ... Is waja se pta laga ni laga ...
Those who are calling him minnow basher first see the scorecard of team India 29-3 at the end 11 overs 0:13 Requiring nearly 200 off 39. What a bowling by Kenya👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Also Kenya went on to play semi-final against India, which again India won. And Ganguly again scored a hundred. (111 out of 114 balls) Double hundreds for Dada.
Now a days people says that dada's 3 century in 2003 world cup was against small teams.. 2 was agaist kenya and 1 was against namibia ..everybody forgot the fact that one century was scored when india lost 3 wicket ..and another one was in semi.. and the same people prases sachin for scoring 600+ runs .. sachin 83(semi) was against kenya, 152 was against namibia and 52 vs Netherlands.. Is that ok?
Don't talk about Sachin.... Just praise the value of innings played by Ganguly, he played excellent in this match, really underpressure game.... How can you compare with Sachin... It's not possible
@@ranjithkumar-yw8iu y not ?

Only six hitter in indian team those days. Waiting for gangully against spinners was awesome. I seen 2003 WC kenya is the very strongest side those days. Master of off side
He was second highest century maker for brief period of time in one day International after Tendulkar. Way ahead of his competions like Anwar, Lara, Ponting, jaysurya, Inzi, Dravid. Sadly nobody remebers him for is batting and his captancy. He led unexperience pack to champion tropy win, Runner up CWS and Overseas test wins.
@@fahimkhan-yi4pn Pulling out your team from situation like 30 /3 isn't heroic ?? Anyways if you read comment well. i wasn't talking about match. i was talking about person who took ownership and took team to heights from darkness of match fixing with very less skilled players.
Yeah... In the semis of this 2003 World Cup Sourav Ganguly scored his 22nd ODI hundred against the same opposition Kenya, I thought he would score 30+ ODI hundreds by the end of his career... Who knew that that would be his final ODI hundred in his career, he would go on to score lots of good scores in ODI's in the next few years after this but never another 100... Unbelievable, but still great career...
Exactly. He was scoring centuries at the same rate as Sachin during that time which is so impressive. If Sachin had the great 1998 year than Dada had even better 1999 year. Man those childhood days of cricket will never come. I was so crazy to watch cricket at that time. Now I take no interest in cricket. It strange isn’t?
Kenya is not a tough team every batsmen can make runs easily But in this particular match Indian team lost 3 wickets so early shewag, Sachin, kaif for single digit scores Indian team was under pressure Ganguly played an captain innings scored valuable century
India may win in WC 2011 as a tournament but as a sport 2003 reaching semi final is very bigger than WC 2011 final winning.... Because all the team in the stages were very peak...
I wish India played this way under pressure during the 2019 WC semifinal. Seriously now when I look back, Ganguly was one of the best ODI batsmen in his era. Current players have fitness but we need something more than that to win.
Exactly what Sehwag also said in an interview with Dada. He said what's the point of being fit with no skills 😂 Today's players are losing series due to their inability to play spin whereas in those days, Indians used to murder spinners. These guys look down upon playing domestic cricket while Sachin, Sourav used to play a lot of it despite their super star statuses. Ganguly was not just one of the best ODI batsman but also the #1 ODI opener along with Sachin in world cricket 😊
Dada always played for the team and with the team. Never for his records or his personal achievements. We should always have a ganguly in the Indian team. God Bless you, DADA 🙏
Dada was one of the greatest captains of India & gem 💎 of our bengal even still now,kids who don't like dada or don't admire him should read history of Indian cricket when dada made a formidable cricket team even in the dark time of our Indian cricket & even when other cricket teams like West Indies,south africa, Australia, England,new Zealand, pakisthan were much better than Indian cricket team & also dada taught Indian cricket team that how to win matches or tests in foreign soil even against formidable opponents
We almost saw a Kenya Australia final😅 Collins obuya was their Ace of spade A Tomato seller from Abuja nearly took Kenya to the finals... They lacked proper pacers or else they'd hv been in the finals against Australia! Sad they could never form a team like that again Respect from India 🇮🇳
At his best, he was one of the best! Later, I found this was his second last ODI Century. So he would score only one ODI Century after this taking his total to 22 !
Kenya team at that time defeated a team like New Zealand and Sri Lanka & in the semi-final also defeated India almost 29-3. It is not for everyone's cup of tea to get the match from here,( legend Sourav Ganguly DaDa)
So semi-finalists became minnows? 😂😂 This was one of the best Kenyan teams of all time. They really played well and deserved their semis berth..They beat Sri Lanka in super 6
I think it's easy to watch the games on mobiles and make any comments . First go in that situation play like him under tremendous stress and prove yourself. The people laughed at him are rather minnows themselves. Though his decision in the final went in Australian favor, so it was sharjah final, knockout final. But he made Indian team a challenging team.
May be Ganguly played with more focus against smaller teams in later stages of his career to improve his stats. 3 hundreds against smaller teams in WC. Nobody questions why he scored against them but why he didn't batted with same class against bigger teams. A test hundred in Zimbabwe in 2005 when Zimbabwe lost test status. He never rested against Zim or Bangladesh series like Dhoni, Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli. That improved his batting as well as captaincy record.
Lol are you high? 😂 According to your logic, his 8 ODI + 3 test centuries out of 38 against so called "minnows" = 18575 international runs 😂 You're talking as if Ganguly asked ICC to schedule fixtures specifically against Zimbabwe, Kenya & Namibia 😂 Kenya was a semi finalist in this WC who had defeated prime Srilanka 😂 Zimbabwe & Kenya were strong teams that time. Didn't you see the scorecard where India was reeling at 29-3 in 11 overs with Sachin, Sehwag & Kaif back in the pavilion? Ganguly was MOS in 2007 ODI series against Srilanka, scored 239 against Pakistan, scored a 98 in his comeback match against WI 😂 All teams were highly competitive during Ganguly's time, not chomu like today 😂
Also, Dhoni rested against Bangladesh? Seriously? He's the only Indian captain to lose series against them 😂 Dhoba doesn't even have an overseas century outside Asia & you're talking crap about Dada 😂 Also, didn't Rohit & Virat play the home test series against Bangladesh recently? 😂 Virat has 2 test & 5 ODI centuries against bangladesh, 1 ODI century against Zimbabwe while Rohit has 4 centuries against bangladesh (3) & Zim (1) 😂 These guys rested it seems! ROFL. You're conveniently forgetting the fact that almost all teams have become minnows now, nowhere near the 90's & early 2000's 😂

Haters say dada scored 100 because it was kenya ..They will also say if kenya beaten india that it was minnows who beat india and it was dadas failure..they always bark against dada .
People saying he was minnow basher check how he went to England tour and how he performed in difficult aus tours as well. Even in Pakistan he used to score well
This world cup he scored centuries against non-test playing nations only. He had no more confidence playing quality fast bowlers. Between 2002-2005 he was very poor with the bat, barring that 144 in Brisbane.
If Ganguly got out quickly without that century and india lost to Kenya in semi final ..you haters say dada even can't a minnows kenya ..you haters always found reasons to blame him ..cry hard
I am stunned by how others in this comment section commenting Kenya as small team like seriously??at those times Kenya Namibia Zimbabwe Bermuda were actually fine teams infact Kenya betas prime Sri Lanka in that world cup
Get your facts right. In the entire 2003 WC, India beat every team except Australia (group stage & finals). They beat Eng, Kenya, NZ, Zim, Ned, Nam, SL & Pak. All teams were competitive that time, not like today's chomu teams.
Then the same people who are mocking Dada for his winning knock against Kenya calling him "minnow basher" would have again abused him for losing against a minnow team like Kenya. All hypocrites! Win or lose against Kenya but mocking & abusing Ganguly is permanent for haters.
SA was a nasty place to bat under the lights, particularly the Costal venues. especially the 1st 25 overs. Also people forget 2 years ago from that match in a tri nation involving Kenya and SA. India failed to chase 225 vs you guessed it Kenya, India got bowled out for 172. It was pretty much the same bowling attack...Kenya in the World cup was in form....they beat SL and Zimbabwe...and gave a tough time to Australia.... Also he got a 48 vs SL too ....that too when Muralidharan and the spinners have slowed things down considerably...and a 19/38 vs England, and got out when Flintoff not only got Tendulkar and Sehwag...but was actually acting in interest of the team....to accelerate the scoring...he could have easily gotten a quiet 50/80 balls and since India batted 1st...India would have also won the game.... Yes the Australia game in group stage it was a poor shoot, the Pakistan game...that was a good ball...and vs Bond....i mean it was 2002-03 Bond at the peak of his power.....even Hayden Gilchrist or Sachin could have gotten out...to that ball... In the final the 24 he was very comfortable a manageable knock of 280-295 would have been chased down by him and our line up....he got away Mc Grath and Lee...and he got out looking for extra...runs.....at that era people did not know how to time a large target... This analysis that Ganguly had a poor 2003 World Cup lacks any nuance.....

यह दादा का 21 वा शतक था.. इतके बाद सिर्फ 1 ही शतक बना पाये अपने करीअर मै... कसमत का अगर साथ होता तो अपणे करिअर के अंत तक 30_35 शतक हो जाते...
This world cup he scored centuries against non-test playing nations only. He had no more confidence playing quality fast bowlers. Between 2002-2005 he was very poor with the bat, barring that 144 in Brisbane.
I woudnt call a team that played the semis of that world cup a minnow buddy get yourself informed kenya played the semis of wc 2003
He scored 144 at Gabba
he played a superb innings of 239 against Pakistan great bowling line up in 2007
If Ganguly got out quickly without that century and india lost to Kenya in semi final ..you haters say dada even can't a minnows kenya ..you haters always found reasons to blame him ..cry hard
Off side ka maharaja
Captain ho to dada jaisa
Dada was surya kumar of his time, perfect minnow basher
Wt about those who got out cheap against same minnows?
Ooops it seems Sachin and Sehwag can't even bash down the minnows
You're right, his 8 ODI + 3 test centuries out of 38 against so called "minnows" = 18575 international runs 😂 You're simply brilliant 😂
I am stunned by how others in this comment section commenting Kenya as small team like seriously??at those times Kenya Namibia Zimbabwe Bermuda were actually fine teams infact Kenya betas prime Sri Lanka in that world cup
Yeah, those who were born yesterday are the ones to talk about Ganguly 😂 COVID babies 😂
Captain's knock
That was our Indian Cricket team always struggled to enter to next round that time 😂
Get your facts right. In the entire 2003 WC, India beat every team except Australia (group stage & finals). They beat Eng, Kenya, NZ, Zim, Ned, Nam, SL & Pak. All teams were competitive that time, not like today's chomu teams.
winning from Kenya should not be a big deal.. if they enjoy beating them then it shows the level of your own cricket team.
Imagine if india loss and kenya beat australia in final 😮😮😂😂
Ganguly saved cricket 😂
Then the same people who are mocking Dada for his winning knock against Kenya calling him "minnow basher" would have again abused him for losing against a minnow team like Kenya. All hypocrites! Win or lose against Kenya but mocking & abusing Ganguly is permanent for haters.
This was his last odi 100..
No , penultimate century it was
Not last but second last
SA was a nasty place to bat under the lights, particularly the Costal venues. especially the 1st 25 overs.
Also people forget 2 years ago from that match in a tri nation involving Kenya and SA. India failed to chase 225 vs you guessed it Kenya, India got bowled out for 172. It was pretty much the same bowling attack...Kenya in the World cup was in form....they beat SL and Zimbabwe...and gave a tough time to Australia....
Also he got a 48 vs SL too ....that too when Muralidharan and the spinners have slowed things down considerably...and a 19/38 vs England, and got out when Flintoff not only got Tendulkar and Sehwag...but was actually acting in interest of the team....to accelerate the scoring...he could have easily gotten a quiet 50/80 balls and since India batted 1st...India would have also won the game....
Yes the Australia game in group stage it was a poor shoot, the Pakistan game...that was a good ball...and vs Bond....i mean it was 2002-03 Bond at the peak of his power.....even Hayden Gilchrist or Sachin could have gotten out...to that ball...
In the final the 24 he was very comfortable a manageable knock of 280-295 would have been chased down by him and our line up....he got away Mc Grath and Lee...and he got out looking for extra...runs.....at that era people did not know how to time a large target...
This analysis that Ganguly had a poor 2003 World Cup lacks any nuance.....
