Legendary Indian batsman VVS Laxman on Tuesday paid tribute to former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly stating that the former Indian captain was “unconventional and fiercely proud” and always wore his heart on his sleeve.
“Unconventional and fiercely proud, Sourav Ganguly wore his heart on his sleeve. And, sometimes, bared it too!,” Laxman wrote on Twitter while posting the iconic Lord’s balcony picture in which Ganguly took off his shirt after India beat England in the NatWest Trophy final.
“Empowering youngsters who went on to do wonders for the country was credit to his great leadership qualities,” Laxan added about the cricketer turned administrator and the current BCCI boss.
