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.
Defending champions Chennai Super Kings have retained their skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni along with their core team ahead of the Indian Premier League 2019 auctions. CSK have released only three players from their title-winning squad last year.
England pacer Mark Wood and two uncapped domestic players — Kanishk Seth and Kshitiz Sharma — have been released by the Chennai outfit. The IPL governing council has asked teams to submit the list of players they want to retain and release ahead of the IPL 2019 auction next month.

Wood had played just one match for Chennai Super Kings before getting recalled by the England cricket council for their home fixture. In his only game for Chennai, Wood went wicketless and conceded 49 runs off his 4 overs. However, the uncapped players Seth and Sharma failed to make the cut into teams’ playing XI for any match throughout the tournament.
