Wishes pour in as ‘unstoppable Dada’ Sourav Ganguly turns 52
Former captain Sourav Ganguly, famously known as 'Dada of Indian cricket' is celebrating his 52nd birthday on Monday.
Led by speedster Zaheer Khan (2/31), the bowling unit of Delhi Daredevils dominated Royal Challengers Bangalore as they restricted them for 157/8 in the fifth match of the IPL 2017 on Saturday.
However, wicketkeeper-batsman Kedar Jadhav managed to score a causative 69-run knock to lay a foundation for RCB at their home ground M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Jadhav became the second victim of Delhi skipper Zaheer, who had dismissed Vishnu Vinod (9) earlier in the same over.
Hitting a full-on delivery by Zaheer, Jadhav lofted it towards mid-off where Chris Morris made no mistake.
Besides the impressive catch, Morris claimed three big wickets with his medium-fast bowling.
Pacer Pat Cummins and spinner Shahbaz Nadeem took the scalp of Mandeep Singh (12) and RCB captain Shane Watson (24) to join the celebration.
