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.
Making a comeback in the 11th season of Indian Premier League after the ban of two years, MS Dhoni’s squad outshined Kane Williamson’s SunRisers Hyderabad to clinched its third IPL title on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium.
Soon after his team Chennai Super Kings won the IPL trophy, MS Dhoni took to the photo-sharing application Instagram and revealed his daughter Ziva’s wish.
“Ziva doesn’t care about the trophy, wants to run on the lawn,” MS Dhoni wrote on Insta.

Talking to media at the post-match conference, MS Dhoni said, “By the time you reach the final everybody know their roles. The fielders have to adjust their roles while fielding, but while batting the styles are well known. So if somebody is finding it difficult in the middle, you know the incoming batsmen wouldn’t find it easy as well. Well, Bhuvi is as deceptive as Rashid and thus it’s not just one bowler in their side who could put pressure on us. So it was a good batting effort, but we always had belief in the firepower our middle-order has.”
“A lot of people talk about stats, so tonight is 27th, my jersey number is seven and this is the seventh final for us. Enough reasons to win it. But none of these reasons matter, what matters is that we’ve won it in the end,” Dhoni said after the match.
